2010 Map of Sturgeon Bay East

About this map

Saint Joseph Cemetery sits near the northern outskirts of the city where the Door Peninsula narrows, marking a landscape defined by its vital maritime corridors. This area is centered on the artificial Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, a critical engineering feat that links the protected waters of Sturgeon Bay to the open expanse of Lake Michigan. The map details the infrastructure of a working waterfront and recreation hub, from the Sturgeon Bay Canal Light guarding the eastern entrance to the Sturgeon Yacht Harbor and Snug Harbor Yacht Basin in the interior. Inland, the terrain rises toward Mount Lowe and Stevens Hill, while the eastern shore is dotted with family-named coastal features like Portage Point and Lilly Bay. The drainage of Lilly Bay Creek and Donlans Creek into Dunes Lake illustrates the complex hydrology of this shoreline environment.
