The Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal serves as the central geographic feature of this eastern Door County landscape, providing a critical maritime link between the waters of Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan. The map illustrates the residential development of the city's east side, where streets like Rhode Island St and Memorial Dr terminate near the canal's edge. Beyond the urban grid, the terrain rises toward Stevens Hill and Mt Lowe, while the coastline is defined by prominent landmarks such as Portage Point and Rocky Point. Genealogists will find the Saint Joseph Cem situated along Egg Harbor Rd, a key historical artery in the region. The map also traces the drainage patterns of Geisel Creek and Big Creek, which flow through the marshy lowlands near Lilly Bay.
