2010 Map of Jacksonport

About this map

The shoreline of Lake Michigan defines this coastal portion of Door County, where the settlement of Jacksonport sits between the mouth of Hibbard Creek and the protective curve of the lakefront. This 2010 survey shows a landscape shaped by its glacial hydrology, featuring the significant inland waters of Clark Lake, which is fed by Logan Creek and drained into the larger lake via Whitefish Bay Creek. The rugged limestone features of Cave Point and Whitefish Point frame the northern end of Whitefish Bay, a vital geographic marker for local maritime history. Several small community burial grounds, including Jacksonport Cemetery and Whitefish Bay Cemetery, are preserved near the coast, while smaller bodies of water like Arbter Lake and Schwartz Lake punctuate the wooded interior between Glidden Drive and the main county highways.
