About this map

Kangaroo Lake serves as a central hydrological feature on this Door County peninsula landscape, buffered by the expansive Baileys Harbor Swamp to the north and the Lake Michigan shoreline to the east. The geography is defined by its coastal orientation, where several small watercourses like Hibbard Cr, Heins Cr, and Fish Cr drain the interior uplands toward the lake. This 2016 survey captures the established road network connecting the primary settlements of Baileys Harbor, Egg Harbor, and Fish Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Baileys Harbor Cem situated near the village, along with numerous family-named landmarks and minor water bodies such as Button Marsh and Thorp Pond. The map reveals a high density of secondary roads and lanes, such as Peninsula Players Rd and Juddville Rd, indicating a landscape transitioning from rural agricultural roots to a more developed coastal residential and recreational character.
