2013 Map of Algoma

About this map

The Ahnapee River winds its way through the landscape before emptying into Lake Michigan at the harbor of Algoma, a focal point of this coastal Wisconsin survey. This portion of Kewaunee County showcases a transition from the structured street grid of the lakefront community to the more dispersed settlement of Bruemmerville to the west. The local infrastructure is anchored by the Algoma Utilities Commission, while the surrounding geography is defined by a series of small, distinctive water bodies including Krohns Lake, Silver Lake, and E Alaska Lake. Numerous watercourses such as Silver Creek, Threemile Cr, and Mashek Cr drain the interior uplands toward the Great Lake shore, illustrating the hydrologic patterns that have shaped land use and local development in the region.
