About this map

Green Bay and the vast waters of Lake Michigan dominate this coastal survey along the western shore. The geography is defined by the elongated protrusion of Little Tail Point, a narrow landform extending south into the bay. Inland, the landscape transitions into the Little Tail Swamp, a low-lying wetland environment fed by the Little Suamico River and smaller tributaries like Kirchner Cr and Tibbet Creek.

Settlement is sparse and concentrated along the shore, where roads such as Lade Beach Rd and Cottage Rd provide access to the waterfront. The boundary between Oconto and Brown Counties bisects the bay, while the southern portion of the map includes the northern reaches of the Suamico area. This map documents a delicate shoreline interface where drainage patterns and coastal marshes shape the local topography.
