About this map

Green Bay dominates the western half of this mid-century survey, with the city of Green Bay occupying the southwestern corner and extending into the townships of Scott and Humboldt. The shoreline is characterized by prominent features like Point au Sable, Red Banks, and the protective reach of Little Tail Point. Inland, the landscape is defined by a dense network of local landmarks, including many parochial and public schools such as Bay Ridge Sch and Mount May Sch.

Rural communities like Bay Settlement, Dyckesville, and New Franken serve as hubs for the surrounding agricultural area, which is dotted with gravel pits and small creek systems like Baird Creek. The presence of Holy Cross Ch, Our Lady Chapel, and various church cemeteries reflects the deep-rooted cultural and religious heritage of the Brown and Kewaunee County border. Along the waters, the Long Tail Point National Wildlife Refuge and a Lighthouse (Abandoned) mark the transition from the developed city to the natural bayside environment.
