2018 Map of Idlewild

About this map

Idlewild serves as the focal point for this coastal survey of the Door County peninsula, where the waters of Lake Michigan meet Green Bay. The shoreline is defined by a series of prominent headlands, including Sherwood Point, Cabot Point, and Quarry Point, which together shelter the tranquil waters of Sawyer Harbor. To the north, Little Harbor Point marks a distinct indentation in the coast. Below the surface, navigational hazards like Larsons Reef, Monument Shoal, and Sherwood Point Shoal illustrate the complexity of these maritime approaches. The inland landscape is characterized by a network of local corridors such as Co Rd B and Whitefish Bay Rd, which connect rural residences and coastal properties. This modern topographical record shows how the area's development remains tightly clustered along the waterfront, preserving the natural indentations of Sturgeon Bay and its surrounding littoral environment.
