Sturgeon Bay
Sturgeon Bay Logo 1
Known for it's vast amount of Sturgeon, Sturgeon bay was founded as a fishing town in 1814, with only a few residents living in a town of cottages right on the shorelines, fishing off of the old pier, the fishermen would gaze at the steamships making their endless trek across the expansive lake. As shipping boomed in the great lakes, a business man came into the town and opened a port in the river delta, which unfortunately failed due to the shallow sea level around the bay, which had caused many ships to run aground on Skillagagee Reef. Before leaving the man had razed the old town and half-built a town on a plateau further inland. Colonists finished the unfinished town and restored the crumbling unfinished Victorian shops to their full glory. The area was designated a national park, and a lighthouse was installed on Skillagagee island, marking the old, Wagoushance Point Lighthouse obsolete. The government deemed the building unsafe and off-limits. The port is still accessible by small shipping boats, and it is said there is an underground crime ring planning on digging out the bay, to allow ships to pass through.

Theme[]

Description: The town lies along the banks of the Great Lakes, which being so large, one cannot see the other shoreline. This will give the feeling of being on the ocean. The town and surrounding area will be very green, with the peninsula being quite low, flooded, and possible slightly swampy. There will be a River Delta running through the right side, which will leave a silt deposit along the banks. The coast is studded with beaches many of them private, and secluded due to the rock outlets from land. A lot of the area along the shoreline will be shallow, with a reef forming the Skillagagee Island (inaccessible). Out off of the peninsula is an old abandoned lighthouse, crumbling atop a massive rock tower, much like the sea forts of yore. The peninsula is generally swampy, and divided into 3 low lying islands: Temperance Island, Goose Island, and the furthest island, Wagoushance Island. Wagoushance point will be a small national park, studded with evergreens and trees. The residential area is generally on the lower area near the shore, with a little plateau just up above with a few houses. and baove that is a second plateau, which houses the town. The town has 2 main square: Promenade square and Capitol Square. The promenade has streets and shops on both side, while the Capitol square is more political building such as the police station and the town hall. below both is Main street, housing the market, the gym, and a dance club. off to the side is the Industrial-ish type area, with a fire department, a dive bar, and a laundromat. Off to the side even further are the ports, the hospital and the military base. Below on the residential plateau is Trade Square, an art district with an art gallery, a library, and a school. All will be custom built using the rugs. The main roads are asphalt, albeit in a slight state of disrepair, and the other rodas (most of them, actually) are dirt, leading to the houses and the parks and beaches. The right area of the map is generally the richer residential district. Skillagagee Island will contain the modern lighthouse.

Climate: Very grey, dense fog. occasionally there will be sunlight to give a realistic light hearted look to the area. If a weather expansion is released, I will update the world for snow and rain. A dramatic sunset if not foggy, and a wonderful view of the opposite peninsula, with the red sun setting over the abandoned lighthouse.

Inhabitants: Generally Fisherman, there will also be a few politicians, an old sea captain, rich folk wanting an adventure or a gorgeous view, a family whose goal is to modernize and reinvent the town, and a struggling artist.

Motifs: The town is very quiet and calm, a fishing atmosphere to it, The captain tells his sea shanties at the dive bar, while a nice old lady runs the bookstore down the street. Very peaceful, and at times very foggy.
