About this map

The Manitowoc River and its smaller counterpart, the Little Manitowoc River, anchor this coastal landscape as they flow toward the deep waters of Lake Michigan. The city of Manitowoc dominates the shoreline of Maritime Bay, showing a complex grid of streets including Waldo Blvd and Michigan Ave. Inland, the terrain is dotted with several small glacial lakes, such as Silver Lake, Gass Lake, and Hartlaub Lake, which hint at the region's geological past.

Smaller settlements and crossroads like Manitowoc Rapids, Alverno, and Clover provide a view of the area's development outside the urban core. Cultural and transit landmarks are prominent, from the SS Badger (Ludington-Manitowoc) car ferry route to the Ice Age National Scenic Trail winding through the city. Local genealogy and history are preserved in sites like Calvary Cem and the Manitowoc County Airport.
