2018 Map of Jacksonport

About this map

Jacksonport sits as a lakeside focal point on the Door Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the sweeping indentation of Whitefish Bay and the massive expanse of Lake Michigan. This 2018 survey highlights a delicate balance between coastal settlement and protected wetlands, notably around the inland Clark Lake, which is separated from the lake by a narrow strip of land. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds including Jacksonport Cem, Whitefish Bay Cem, and Holy Nativity Cem, marking the long-standing communities along the shore. To the south, the map details the intricate hydrography of Arbter Lake and Schwartz Lake, surrounded by dense wetlands and smaller waterways like Logan Cr and Hibbard Cr. The eastern edge is dominated by dramatic coastal features such as Cave Point and Whitefish Point, showing the geological character of this renowned Wisconsin shoreline.
