The eastern portion of Waukesha County has a major sub-continental divide as shown by the line in the map. Water falling west of this crest of land goes into the Fox River watershed and eventually into the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River. Water falling on the east side goes into the Menomonee River watershed and enters the St. Lawrence Seaway by flowing through the Great Lakes.

I Saw The Marker

I live close to this Historical Marker for the Sub-Continental Divide. The sign is really looking bad and needs to be updated.

  2. This marker could use another picture or two.
  3. Can this marker be seen from the road?
  4. Is the marker in the median?
