About this map

Oconto serves as the focal point of this coastal study, situated where the Oconto River flows into the vast waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan. The settlement pattern follows the river's path, with historical infrastructure including the Oconto Post Office, Municipal Wharf, and Newport Marina marking the town's maritime and civic identity. South of the main channel, Ajax Island and the Lindsey Cemetery reflect the local geography of the river mouth, while the Oconto Marsh Wildlife Area and its 3WR350 Dam suggest the conservation and water management efforts north of the town center.

Rural life in the surrounding landscape is preserved through smaller settlements like Wilcox and Cullen, and family-oriented landmarks such as the Garden of Hope Cemetery and Cullen Cemetery. The presence of the Sweetwater Bay Seaplane Base on the bay shore highlights the area's continued use of its coastal waters for specialized transport. A network of county roads, including County Hwy-Y and County Hwy-A, connects these inland communities to the lakefront, tracing the enduring layout of Oconto County’s eastern reaches.
