About this map

The eastern portion of Sturgeon Bay and the surrounding townships of Sevastopol and Clay Banks define this Lake Michigan coastal landscape in the early 1980s. The city's growth is evident in the residential developments and institutional hubs such as the NE Wis Tech Inst and the Radio Tower (WDOR). A notable concentration of community landmarks appears north of the ship canal, including St Joseph Sch and the adjacent St Joseph Cem.

Industrial activity and maritime infrastructure are prominent throughout the quadrangle. Extensive Quarries and Gravel Pits are carved into the limestone terrain south of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, reflecting the region's extractive economy. Along the shoreline, the U S Coast Guard Station guards the entrance to the canal, while the coast itself features natural landmarks like Lilly Bay, Portage Point, and the Dunes near Shivering Sands Creek.
