2013 Map of Washington Island SW

About this map

Detroit Harbor serves as the central focal point for this maritime landscape, where the northern tip of the Door Peninsula meets the islands of Lake Michigan. The transition from the mainland at Northport to the outlying chain is defined by hazardous waters and shoals, including Middle Shoal and the ominous Nine Foot Shoal. The map details the complex shoreline of Detroit Island and the smaller, clustered landmasses of Big Susie Island, Little Susie Island, and Snake Island. On the mainland, the northern reaches of Newport State Park and the freshwater Europe Lake illustrate the area's protected natural character. Local navigation and access are represented by a network of rural roads such as S Port Des Morts Dr and Co Hwy-W, which connect the ferry landing at Northport to the interior and coastal settlements.
