1981 Map of Idlewild

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Sherwood Point anchors the entrance to Sawyer Harbor in this detailed topographic and bathymetric study of the Door County shoreline. The map reveals the intricate underwater contours of Green Bay and Sturgeon Bay, contrasting the deep waters of the bay with the developed coastal landscape. On land, the recreation and conservation focus is evident at Potawatomi State Park, where a Lookout Tower and a Ski Lift are noted near the waterfront. Industrial history is represented by several instances of a Quarry located in the township of Sevastopol, indicating the importance of local limestone extraction. The settlement of Idlewild and the smaller inlet of Little Harbor show the distribution of residential and nautical access points, including a Boat Ramp and navigation aids like the Light at the point, which guided vessels navigating the Sturgeon Bay Canal approach.
