About this map

The Belgian heritage of the Door Peninsula is evident across this landscape in the late 1970s, where rural routes like Belgian Drive connect scattered farming communities. The settlement of Namur serves as a local focal point near the northern edge, while the interior is characterized by a network of family-named landmarks and religious sites including St Francis Ch and multiple locations for St Marys Cem.

Transitioning from the rocky elevations of Dhuey Hill toward the waters of Green Bay, the terrain features significant natural landmarks such as the expansive Duvall Swamp and Little Mud Lake. Shoreline development is concentrated around Shoemaker Point and public recreation areas like Chaudoirs Dock County Park. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the era through numerous Gravel Pits distributed throughout the townships of Union and Lincoln.
