Sturgeon Bay and its vital maritime connection to Lake Michigan dominate this 2013 landscape, where the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal bisects the Door County peninsula. The map illustrates a transition from the urbanized streets of Stevens Hill and the recreation-focused Snug Harbor Yacht Basin to the agricultural and natural lands of the east. Local geography is defined by prominent coastal markers like Portage Point and Rocky Point, while the interior shows the agricultural footprint of Robertson Orchards. Natural water systems including Dunes Lake and Geisel Creek remain prominent near the lakeshore. The road network, anchored by State Highway 42 57, reveals how modern transit overlays an older grid of country roads and residential lanes that follow the irregular contours of the bay and the Lake Michigan coast.
