About this map

Namur, the historic center of Belgian settlement in Wisconsin, sits at the heart of this coastal and agricultural landscape. The area is defined by its proximity to Green Bay and Lake Michigan, with the shoreline transitioning from the landmark Shoemaker Point to the small community of Dyckesville in the south. The rural interior is heavily influenced by its drainage patterns, notably the expansive Duvall Swamp and the headwaters of Renard Creek and Sugar Creek.

Genealogists will find significant local history markers, including Saint Marys Cemetery and the Duvall Cemetery near the settlement of Duvall. The map also traces the county line separating Door and Kewaunee counties. Terrain features like Dhuey Hill rise above the surrounding fields, which are connected by a network of roads reflecting the area's heritage, such as Belgian Drive and several named county roads.
