About this map

Peninsula Point Light House stands at the southern tip of a narrow finger of land, marking the division between Little Bay de Noc and Big Bay de Noc. This 1985 survey captures the rural character of the Stonington Peninsula, where much of the interior is protected within the Hiawatha National Forest. The settlement of Stonington serves as the primary community hub, supported by local landmarks like Trinity Ch and Lakeview Cem near the western shore.

The coastal landscape is defined by its numerous inlets and points, including Wilsey Bay, Wedens Bay, and the prominent Deepwater Point. The presence of the Peninsula Point Recreation Area at the terminus of the land indicates the area's transition from a maritime navigational necessity to a site of public recreation. Inland, small water bodies like Sandstrom Lake and the winding Wilsey Creek drain into the surrounding waters of Lake Michigan and Green Bay.
