Full Version: Milwaukee Map

I have been scavenging the web to compile all the thoughts, ideas and source material on Milwaukee Wisconsin to run an up coming SR4 campaign. What I can't find is a good map of Wisconsin/Milwaukee area.

If anyone has a good idea on where to find one that would be awesome. If not I'm going to start building one over the next few weeks.

Milwaukee has never really been covered in Shadowrun to my knowledge. I would start building one, one general tip keep museums, major and historic buildings in place, and add a lot lower class spots on the south side as refugee areas from Chicago.

There might have been a mention of it in the Chicago section of Neo-Anarchest's guide to North America, but that is pre-bug city. Hard to believe that book is almost 20 years old.

It's not SR, but this may help. LINK The link is for a mapping system provided by the city of Milwaukee and includes layers for nearly everything the government tracks.

Good luck!

Excellent work (legwork, that is). I was about to suggest:

I'd be surprised if Milwaukee weren't part of the Chicago Sprawl in 2050. It nearly is now. nyahnyah.gif

You could just stop in at Milwaukee Map Service and pick one up. Or did you have something else in mind? Electronic? Or just something more appropriate for the Sixth World?

We had a campaign set in Milwaukee, once. We left it pretty much as-is. Like using Vitucci's as a frequent meeting spot. I don't remember much more than that, though. I think we did a lot of "commuting" to other places for work.

I did a writeup of my vision of Milwaukee in the Sixth World. It's incomplete, of course.

Milwaukee 2070


There are some ideas I've not got around to adding to this yet, such as the Divine Mountain Triad, a Hmong Triad that's active only in Minnesota and Wisconsin, The Hellcats, a WWII fighter pilot themed go-gang with a vicious anti-Japanacorp streak and rumored support from Ares, a S-K run theme park on the lakeside that Highlight's Milwaukee's German Heritage, More on the Milwaukee Turners, and much, much more.

Excellent work, 'Sconnie!

It's that time. I dusted of my books and I am running Shadowrun Milwaukee again. Has anything been release, talked about or mentioned on Dumpshock for Shadowrun Milwaukee 4e?
