1961 Map of Chambers Island

About this map

Chambers Island dominates this portion of Green Bay, featuring the interior Mackaysee Lake and Mud Lake alongside a Landing Strip and the Chambers Island Lighthouse. To the east, the Door County shoreline reveals the established patterns of mid-century coastal life, where the community of Egg Harbor serves as a focal point near Juddville. This survey, compiled from 1954 aerial photography and 1961 field checks, records a landscape defined by maritime navigation and rural infrastructure. Along the mainland, genealogists can locate landmarks such as School No 1, Sunny Point Sch, and the Evangelical Ch, while the maritime environment is marked by the Strawberry Islands and the long reach of Hanover Shoal. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Quarry near Juddville Bay indicates the localized extraction industries supporting the peninsula's growth during this era.
