About this map

Brussels and the surrounding townships of Union, Gardner, and Red River characterize this mid-1980s look at the Door Peninsula and its intersection with Green Bay and Lake Michigan. The map highlights a landscape defined by the Niagara Escarpment and a network of protected lands, including Potawatomi State Park and Whitefish Dunes State Park. Transportation patterns are anchored by the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor and local hubs like Luxemburg and Casco Junction.

Smaller settlements such as Namur, Thiry Daems, and Dyckesville reflect the area's agricultural and maritime heritage. Significant wetlands like Gardner Swamp State Wildlife Area and Duvall Swamp are clearly delineated alongside coastal features like Sturgeon Bay and Sawyer Harbor. The detailed topographic data captures the complex shoreline from Point au Sable up to Jacksonport, providing a clear view of the peninsula's geography before later decades of development.
