1960 Map of Sister Bay

About this map

Peninsula State Park dominates the western shoreline of this Door County peninsula, where dramatic geography like Eagle Bluff and Weborg Point overlooks the Strawberry Channel. The settlement patterns of the early 1960s are clearly visible in the village of Sister Bay and the coastal community of Ephraim, while the interior remains a landscape of orchards and small farms interspersed with numerous Gravel Pit workings and limestone Quarry sites. Maritime safety is a prominent theme, with the Cana Island Light on the Lake Michigan side and Eagle Bluff Light on Green Bay marking the treacherous surrounding waters.
