About this map

Kangaroo Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this coastal landscape of Door County, where the terrestrial environment meets the shores of Lake Michigan. The settlement of Baileys Harbor is situated on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural area. Significant local history is preserved at the Baileys Harbor Town Cemetery and Saint Mary's of the Lake Cemetery, providing essential landmarks for genealogical research.

The area's unique hydrology is defined by expansive marshes and seasonal waterways, including the Baileys Harbor Swamp and Button Marsh. These features, along with Thorp Pond and creeks like Hibbard Creek and Heins Creek, illustrate the complex drainage patterns typical of this peninsula. A network of country roads, including County Road EE and Juddville Road, connects the dispersed homesteads and agricultural tracts that have long characterized this part of Wisconsin.
