Plum Island Range Light Station
Map
This blue line print map shows land use, weather bureau cables, U.S. Life Saving Service walk and clearing, and front and rear range lights on the Porte des Morts Passage between Green Bay and Lake Michigan. A label in the center of the island notes tree types are "pine, cedar, maple, hemlock and birch." The sheet includes data about light characteristics and the history of the site and a bar scale without units labeled. Below the title reads: "Compiled from office records to date." A mounted label on bottom margin reads: "Wisconsin exhibit 174."
circa 1900-1928
