About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern expanse of this Wisconsin coastal landscape, where the shoreline is defined by a series of residential developments and private lakefront roads. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grids of Belgium and the southern settlement of Knellsville to the more dispersed rural pockets of Decker and Druecker. These inland communities are connected to the coast by a network of county highways and family-named thoroughfares like Sauk Trail Rd and Cedar Beach Rd.

Surface drainage is managed by small coastal tributaries such as Sucker Cr and Sauk Cr, which cut through the terrain toward the lake. The interplay between the major north-south corridor of County Hwy-LL and the newer residential clusters like Upper Forest Beach Rd illustrates the late 20th-century expansion of lakefront living between the long-established inland farming centers of Ozaukee County.
