True to its name, it once led (as an Indian trail) to the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Starting with a short section at N. Canal and W. Lake Streets, it begins in earnest at the corner of N Desplaines and W. Kinzie Streets and heads northwest for about 40 miles before joining Skokie Highway (U.S. Route 41) in Gurnee, Illinois which continues on to the city of Milwaukee. From Harlem Avenue northwards it is Illinois Route 21.

Through most of the city the street is lined with storefronts, restaurants and the occasional art gallery [1].
