About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the northwestern reaches of this Door County coastline, where Sand Bay meets a landscape defined by extensive wetland networks. Further inland, the terrain is characterized by numerous named swamps, including Larson Swamp, May Swamp, and Greenwood Swamp, which suggest a historically difficult area for large-scale development outside of the primary corridors. The city of Sturgeon Bay serves as the focal point in the northeast, overlooking Dunlap Reef and Bradley Lake.

For researchers, the map provides a concentration of genealogical data points, specifically in the western rural sections. Multiple burial grounds such as Salem Lutheran Cem, Elton J Schulties Memorial Cem, and Hainesville Cem are clearly marked along the road network. The presence of the Door County-Cherryland Airport and the Maplewood settlement further south illustrates the modern infrastructure that connects these coastal and agricultural communities.
