2018 Map of Spider Island

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, where the terrestrial edges of Door County meet the open water. The shoreline is defined by the distinct indentations of Europe Bay and Newport Bay, separated by a narrow peninsula. Just off the coast lies Spider Island, a small landmass situated south of the hazardous Outer Shoal. This area represents the quieter, northern reaches of the peninsula, where the road network is limited to local connectors like Co Rd Np and Newport Park Rd. The landscape here is primarily shaped by its relationship to the water, illustrating the transition from the wooded interior to the rocky shoals and bays of the Great Lakes. This 2018 record shows a region preserved for its natural features, with very few structures or developments indicated beyond the basic infrastructure of the park and local access routes.
