2022 Map of Namur

About this map

Namur and the surrounding Belgian-American settlement area are documented here at the intersection of Door Co and Kewaunee Co. The landscape is defined by the transition from the shores of Green Bay and Lake Michigan at Shoemaker Point to the agricultural uplands marked by Dhuey Hill. The map highlights a rural infrastructure of family-named roads and religious sites, such as Saint Marys Cem and the Gospel Truth Hall Cem, reflecting the deep-seated community roots in this region. Interior drainage is characterized by the complex Duvall Swamp and Little Mud Lake, which feed into local waterways like Macco Cr and the Red River. The arrangement of farmsteads and road networks, including Belgian DR and Brussels RD, underscores the distinct cultural heritage of the Door Peninsula. Genealogists will find the specific placement of small cemeteries like Duvall Cem near the settlement of Duvall particularly useful for tracing local family history.
