1982 Map of Washington Island SW

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Detroit Harbor serves as the focal point for island life on this southern tip of Washington Island during the early 1980s. The map illustrates a maritime landscape where the Ferry connection to Northport remains the primary link to mainland Door County. Navigation is the central theme of this coastal area, marked by the treacherous Porte Des Morts Passage and the specialized U S Coast Guard Station on Plum Island. On the southern shore, Liberty Grove encompasses a mix of protected lands and private holdings, including the inland Europe Lake and the coastal Ferdinand Hotz Park. This survey captures the island's dual character as both a working fishing and farming community and a quiet retreat, featuring local infrastructure like the High Sch, a Powerplant, and several Gravel Pits used for local road maintenance.
