About this map

Washington Island anchors this coastal survey, where the waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan meet at the northern tip of the peninsula. The map details the local infrastructure of Washington, revealing a network of family-named roads like Gudmundsen Dr and Gunnlaugsson Rd that connect the community to its natural landmarks. Notable interior features include Little Lake and the northern prominence of Bowyer Bluff, which overlooks the bay.

Civic life is reflected in the placement of the Washington Township Cemetery and the Washington Island Airport, highlighting the logistical uniqueities of island living. The sheltered inlet of Washington Harbor serves as a focal point for maritime activity, while the road network extending to the Washington Island Landfill and along Town Line Rd provides a clear view of the island's mid-20th-century development and land use patterns.
