About this map

Eagle Harbor serves as a protected focal point for the village of Ephraim, where the shoreline transitions from the deep waters of Lake Michigan to the rising elevations of Sister Bluffs. This 2018 survey documents the intricate coastal topography of Door County, including the prominent Eagle Bluff and the outlying Horseshoe Island within Nicolet Bay. The settlement pattern follows the contours of the harbor, with local landmarks like Church and the Ephraim-Gibraltar Airport situated just inland from the coastal roads.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several resting places across the peninsula, including Blossomberg Cem near Weborg Point, Bethany Lutheran Cem, and Little Sister Cem further north. The map also details the natural transition from the stony bluffs to the low-lying Ephraim Swamp, drained by Hidden Springs Cr. The road network, including Gibraltar Rd and Town Line Dr, connects these coastal communities with the interior farming and forest lands.
