About this map

Idlewild sits at the northern tip of a peninsula where the waters of Sawyer Harbor meet the greater expanse of Green Bay. This coastal landscape is defined by its dramatic points and hazardous underwater features, such as Sherwood Point Shoal and Larsons Reef, which have long necessitated maritime caution. The map reveals a specialized coastal infrastructure, including a designated Water Trail that skirts the rocky shoreline near Sherwood Point and Cabot Point.

Residential development follows the natural contours of the land, with roads like Shore Heights Dr and Windemere Dr tracing the bluffs overlooking Sturgeon Bay. The presence of landmarks like Quarry Point suggests a history of local industry integrated into the shoreline, while the numerous shoals like Monument Shoal to the north highlight the area's enduring relationship with the lake's navigation challenges.
