The Census reference point falls outside the regional layer’s mapped footprint. This classification uses the actual place-boundary intersection, with Door Peninsula representing its largest mapped overlap. Shorelines and dataset boundaries can differ.
Gibraltar and Door County
Gibraltar is associated with Door County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

The Census records 70.1 square miles of water within Gibraltar, or 67.5% of its total area. It is 12.2 percentage points lower than the 79.7% recorded for Door County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
