About this map

Algoma stands at the mouth of the Ahnapee River where it enters Lake Michigan, serving as a focal point for this 2010 coastal survey. The town's layout and utilities, including the Algoma Utilities Commission, indicate its established role as a hub for this stretch of the Kewaunee County shoreline. To the west, the smaller settlement of Bruemmerville sits near the Henry Iwen Dam, marking a transition from the lakeside urban grid to the interior's agricultural and wooded landscape.

A network of local landmarks provides significant detail for genealogists and local historians, including Evergreen Cemetery, Saint Mary Cemetery, and Saint Paul Cemetery. The topography is defined by coastal drainages like Silver Creek and Threemile Creek, alongside inland water bodies such as Krohns Lake and East Alaska Lake. The conversion of older transport routes is visible in the Ahnapee Trl, which follows the river's path through the northwest corner of the map.
