About this map

The Ahnapee River winds through the heart of Algoma, meeting the vast expanse of Lake Michigan along a shoreline defined by grid-patterned streets and lakefront access. This Kewaunee County coastal area is characterized by its transition from a structured harbor town to rural landscapes dotted with historical cemeteries and small inland water bodies. Inland, the community of Bruemmerville sits near the banks of Silver Creek, while the settlement of Alaska anchors the southern portion of the map near E Alaska Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds including Saint Mary's Catholic Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the more secluded Wiesner Cem located near Silver Lake. The terrain is marked by numerous small tributaries like Muskrat Cr and Three Mile Creek which feed into the lake, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have influenced land use and settlement since the nineteenth century.
