2018 Map of Little Sturgeon

About this map

Lake Michigan waters define the northern reaches of this Door County coastline, where Little Sturgeon Bay and Rileys Bay carve deep indentations into the peninsula. The settlement of Little Sturgeon sits near the head of its namesake bay, characterized by a mix of coastal access and low-lying wetlands like Gardner Swamp. Genealogy researchers can locate several significant burial sites, including Saint Joseph Cem, Stevenson Cem, and Geise Cem, which are scattered among the farmsteads and orchards. The interior landscape rises toward Brussels Hill in the south, while the shoreline is dotted with named points such as Henderson Point and Rileys Point. This coastal region reflects a modern balance of recreation and agriculture, with Crispy Cedars Airport serving the local area and the Ahnapee River draining the southern wetlands toward the lake.
