2010 Map of Spider Island

About this map

Spider Island and the surrounding waters of Lake Michigan define this coastal survey of the Door County peninsula's eastern edge. The map highlights the maritime hazards of the shoreline, specifically identifying Outer Shoal and the dangerously shallow Four Foot Shoal. Inland access is limited to the northern corridor where Newport Park Rd enters the landscape. This 2010 edition documents a largely undeveloped maritime environment, emphasizing the navigational features and natural topography of the island and its adjacent shoals rather than dense settlement. The focus on bathymetric hazards and isolated coastal features provides essential data for understanding the historical shipwrecks and navigational challenges common to this stretch of the Great Lakes.
