About this map

Green Bay and the northeastern Wisconsin shoreline are documented here in the early 1980s, showcasing the expansion of the city alongside its maritime and academic infrastructure. The urban core, characterized by the East River and the industrial activity near the Oil Tanks and Sewage Disposal, transitions into residential neighborhoods like Haevers Corners and Chapel Ridge. Educational and social institutions are prominent features, most notably the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus and various religious landmarks such as Holy Cross Church in Bay Settlement.

The coastal landscape includes distinctive features such as Point au Sable and Long Tail Point, the latter marked by a Lighthouse (Abandoned). Inland, the map reveals the area's logistical and rural heritage, from the tracks of the Chicago and Western RR to local landmarks like Wequiock. Family and local history can be traced through sites like Nicolet Memorial Gardens and the County Home Cem, while the Green Bay West Shores State Wildlife Area highlights the preservation of the bay's natural environment amidst regional growth.
