About this map

The rocky eastern shoreline of Door County is defined here by the deep indents of Baileys Harbor and Moonlight Bay. In the early 1980s, this area of the Peninsula shows a landscape shaped by both glacial history and maritime necessity, from the prominent Cana Island light station to the inland wetlands of the Mud Lake State Wildlife Area. The map details the local road network connecting small coastal settlements like North Bay, with routes such as Island Road and Ridges Road tracing the contours of the land.

Industrial activity is evident in the several Gravel Pits and a Quarry located north of the harbor, while the community at Baileys Harbor is marked by public spaces including Anclam Park and the Baileys Harbor Ridges Park. The transition from the dense woodlands to the waters of Lake Michigan is punctuated by numerous small bays like Spike Horn Bay, providing a clear look at the geological finger of Wisconsin before modern development intensified.
