About this map

The western waterfront of Sturgeon Bay and the surrounding Door County peninsula landscape define this survey. A complex network of wetlands, including Larson Swamp, Greenwood Swamp, and Stony Creek Swamp, dominates the interior, reflecting the low-lying glacial topography of the region. These marshlands are interspersed with agricultural tracts and orchards, evidenced by the central location of the Door County Cherryland Airport.

Along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, prominent features like Hills Point and Sand Bay provide landmarks for coastal navigation, while the residential and commercial streets of the western half of the city are clearly delineated. Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites and landmarks, such as Hainesville Cem, Salem Ch, and Schulties Cem, which sit alongside historic routes like Hainesville Rd and Y Inn Rd. The map also captures the varied terrain from the elevation of Mt Lowe to the offshore Dunlap Reef.
