2015 Map of Institute

About this map

Green Bay and the shoreline of Lake Michigan define the northwestern edge of this portion of the Door Peninsula. The landscape transitions from the coastal heights of Monument Point and Monument Bluff Pass into a sprawling interior of agricultural fields and wetlands. The settlement of Institute serves as a local hub near the southern edge, while Carlsville sits further north along the prominent corridor of Egg Harbor Rd. The map reveals a highly structured grid of rural lanes with evocative local names like Lady Slipper Rd and Plum Bottom Rd. Water is a constant presence, from the secluded Lost Lake in the northeast to the wandering paths of Lilly Bay Creek and Geisel Creek, which drain the low-lying eastern terrain.
