About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern and western horizons of this Door County peninsula survey, where the rugged shoreline is broken by sheltered inlets and narrow waterways. The village of Sister Bay sits on the western coast, serving as a primary hub for the region's road network, including the winding N Spring Rd and Old Stage Rd. To the east, the topography shifts toward the marshes of the Mink River and the small coastal settlement at Rowleys Bay.

Tracing the inland landscape reveals a pattern of historic land use, with the Ellison Bay Cemetery and Rowleys Bay Cemetery providing vital anchor points for genealogists. The map details the transition from the steep bluffs near Mossy Cliff Trl to the low-lying waters of North Bay, while offshore hazards like the Four Foot Shoal hint at the maritime risks inherent to this stretch of the Wisconsin coast.
