1978 Map of Namur

About this map

The Belgian heritage of Southern Door County is visible across this late-1970s landscape, centered on the settlement of Namur. The map captures a rural Peninsula community defined by its proximity to Green Bay and the drainage of Sugar Creek and Macco Creek. Local life is anchored by traditional sites like St Marys Cem and St Francis Ch, while the shoreline features recreation at Chaudoirs Dock County Park and Shoemaker Point. The interior transitions from open fields to the dense wetlands of Duvall Swamp and the small waters of Little Mud Lake. The prevalence of several Gravel Pits suggests the importance of local material extraction for the region's infrastructure. In the southern reaches, the Red River cuts through the terrain near the settlement of Duvall, providing a natural boundary near the Door Co Kewaunee Co line.
