Menomonee Falls Map Poster & Print

Menomonee Falls sits on the northwest edge of the Milwaukee area, and its map starts with water. The Menomonee River loops through the older center, where a set of low falls gave the community its name and powered its first mills. Around that bend the street pattern is irregular and tight, following the river and the rail line, before loosening into long, straight roads laid out as farmland became neighborhoods.

Legally it is a village, and by population the largest in Wisconsin, a detail that surprises anyone who sees its size on the map. Subdivisions with curving drives and cul-de-sacs fill the land between section-line roads, while commercial strips and a highway corridor line the eastern side. Kohl's, the department store chain, keeps its corporate headquarters here, one of the larger footprints on the plan.

On a Menomonee Falls map poster the river becomes the thread that ties everything together, a pale ribbon crossing an otherwise orderly field of streets. Parks and green corridors follow its banks, including a site where old lime kilns are preserved beside the water. In black and white, the contrast between the meandering river and the Midwestern grid reads clearly at every print size.
