About this map

Sheboygan sits at the northern edge of this coastal survey, where the Sheboygan River meets Lake Michigan amidst a dense grid of urban development and industry. The industrial character of the mid-1950s is evident in the presence of a Refinery, a Sewage Disposal plant, and the sprawling Edgewater Powerplant along the shore. Beyond the city center, the landscape transitions into the residential and recreational fringes, featuring schools like Central High Sch and multiple parks, including Sheridan Park and King Park.

Southward along the coast, the terrain shifts toward more open spaces and specialized sites. The Black River meanders toward the lake near Black River Point, passing Camp Taswood and reaching the preserved dunes of Terry Andrae State Park. Unique maritime and cultural markers are scattered throughout, from the Sunken Caisson resting offshore to the Drive-in Theater located inland near the Immaculate Conception Cem.
