1984 Map of Washington Island

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Washington Island and its surrounding archipelago anchor the northern reaches of the Door Peninsula in this mid-1980s look at the waters where Green Bay meets Lake Michigan. The map details the intricate maritime geography of the region, from the treacherous Porte des Morts Passage to the sheltered waters of Detroit Harbor. On the island itself, settlement patterns are visible near the Washington Island Landing Field and the inland waters of Coffee Swamp. Across the open lake to the southeast, the remote wilderness of North Manitou Island and South Manitou Island appears as part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. These islands, along with protected areas like Rock Island State Park, represent a landscape defined by seasonal isolation and a long history of Great Lakes navigation, marked by numerous lights and lookouts guarding the shipping lanes.
