Milwaukee

Milwaukee County is characterized by a gently rolling landscape that transitions into flatter terrain as it approaches Lake Michigan. The region's elevation varies modestly, with most areas ranging from about 600 to 700 feet above sea level. The county features several prominent water bodies, including the Milwaukee River and numerous smaller lakes, which contribute to the area's lush vegetation and biodiversity. Glacial activity during the last Ice Age shaped much of the topography, leaving behind rich alluvial plains and drumlins—hills formed by glacial debris. This varied terrain supports a mix of urban development, parks, and recreational areas, making Milwaukee an appealing location for residents and visitors alike.
