2013 Map of Washington Island NW

About this map

Lake Michigan surrounds the northern reaches of Washington Island, where the land terminates at the prominent Bowyer Bluff. This survey illustrates the northwestern corner of the island as it functioned in the early twenty-first century, featuring a network of local roads named for prominent families and island geography. Inland, Little Lake sits just south of the bluff, while the settlement of Washington serves as a central point for island navigation. The map documents the infrastructure required for island life, including the Washington Island Airport and the Washington Island Landfill. Roadways such as Gasoline Town Rd and Gunnlaugsson Rd provide insight into the localized naming conventions and property boundaries that characterize this remote Wisconsin community.
