Bird's eye view of a portion of Milwaukee that borders Lake Michigan. The blue-colored water body spans the image's right. Jones Island stretches from the image's center to the foreground. Port Milwaukee appears on the left and right sides of the island. The left side is the inner harbor; the other is the outer. Several boats are docked around both sides. Next to the inner harbor, closer to the background, is the sewage treatment plant. It has a tall chimney billowing white smoke. A residential area is in the left foreground. Interstate 794 highway runs from the land in the background towards the island's right side through the Hoan Bridge. Part of the road on Jones Island is under construction. Downtown Milwaukee's landscape is in the far background.
