1982 Map of Jacksonport SW

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, where the deep waters of the Great Lakes meet the shoreline of the Door Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the township of Sevastopol, where the terrain drops toward the water's edge through a series of contour intervals. This specific corner of Wisconsin shows the relationship between the elevated interior lands and the immediate lakeside, characterized by the winding path of Shivering Sands Creek as it nears the coast. The hydrographic data, compiled from maritime charts, includes numerous depth soundings across the expanse of the lake, providing a clear picture of the underwater topography and the steep gradient just offshore. The map serves as a precise record of the shoreline configuration and local drainage patterns in the early 1980s, before modern development further altered the coastal fringe.
