About this map

The shoreline of Green Bay during the mid-1950s reveals a landscape of expanding coastal settlements and industrial infrastructure. Along the eastern edge of the bay, the finger of Long Tail Point reaches south into the water, sheltering Dead Horse Bay and housing an Lighthouse (Abandoned) within the Long Tail Point National Wildlife Refuge. Further south, Grassy Island and various Dumping Grounds mark the nautical approaches to the city.

On the mainland, the township of Preble serves as a residential and commercial hub, featuring numerous local schools like Roosevelt Sch and Nicolet Sch. The northern rural reaches in Scott and Humboldt show established communities at Bay Settlement and Wequiock, supported by institutions such as the Holy Cross Cem and the County Home. Transport is anchored by the Chicago and North Western rail line and a grid of local streets including Eastman St and Weise St.
