2013 Map of Ellison Bay

About this map

Deathdoor Bluff and Table Bluff anchor the northern reaches of the Door Peninsula, overlooking the waters of Lake Michigan. This 2013 survey of the northern tip shows a coastline defined by deep inlets such as Hedgehog Harbor and Garret Bay. The settlement patterns follow the shoreline, with Gills Rock situated at the northern terminus and the community of Ellison Bay tucked into the southwest corner. Inland, the map reveals a grid of rural lanes like Mink River Rd and Blackberry Rd that service the orchards and wooded tracts typical of this maritime region. The placement of the Cedar Grove Resort and numerous residential lanes such as Cottage Rd and Isle View Rd illustrates the long-standing recreational and seasonal character of the Door County shoreline as it appeared in the early 21st century.
