Lake Superior defines the northern reaches of this coastal landscape along the South Shore of Wisconsin. The small village of Port Wing serves as the focal point of the shoreline, where the land transitions from the expansive waters to the interior of Bayfield County. This 2015 study illustrates the contemporary road network and topographical character of the area, reflecting the modern layout of this harbor community. Researchers can observe the interaction between the lakefront and the established settlement patterns that have shaped the region since its earlier logging and fishing days, as the map details the precise elevations and hydrography of the immediate surroundings.
