About this map

Peninsula State Park dominates the Door County shoreline in the early 1980s, preserving a large swath of waterfront between Nicolet Bay and the village of Fish Creek. This survey captures the region's character as a established maritime and recreational destination, where the high limestone Sister Bluffs overlook Green Bay and the Sister Islands. The map detail reveals a landscape organized by both tourism and deep-rooted local infrastructure, from the Ephraim-Fish Creek Airport to the numerous historic burial grounds like Blossomburg Cem and Little Sister Cem.

Navigation and safety remain central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Light on Horseshoe Island and the Lookout Tower rising above the timberline. Settled areas like Sister Bay and Ephraim are depicted with their local schools, including Pioneer Sch and Gibraltar High Sch, showing how the permanent community maintains its footprint alongside seasonal landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and local golf clubs.
