2018 Map of Sturgeon Bay West

About this map

The western waterfront of Sturgeon Bay serves as a focal point for this 2018 survey, where the Sturgeon Bay Bridge connects the city's street grid across the narrow waterway. This coastal Wisconsin landscape transitions from the urban density near Dunlap Reef to a series of wetlands and agricultural lands to the southwest. The geography is defined by significant swamp systems, including Greenwood Swamp, Larson Swamp, and Cunningham Swamp, which highlight the low-lying nature of the Door Peninsula interior. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the settlement of Maplewood sits near the headwaters of Stony Creek. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented across the rural landscape, from Bayside Cemetery on the northern coast to Schulties Cemetery and Salem Cemetery further inland. The presence of the Door County Cherryland Airport and the Ice Age National Scenic Trail indicate the area's modern role as a regional transportation and recreation hub.
