About this map

The Arthur Bay shoreline of Menominee County defines this coastal landscape, where the waters of Lake Michigan meet the wooded lowlands of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Small settlements and landing points dot the highway m35, which serves as the primary artery connecting coastal communities. To the south, Johnson Landing marks a traditional point of access near the mouth of Johnson Creek, while the cluster at Beach Grove sits just inland from Rochereau Point.

Hydrological features are prominent throughout the interior, including the marshy margins of Hayward Lake and Little Lake in the northwest. Numerous small waterways, such as Ruleau Creek, Fowler Creek, and Rochereau Creek, drain the flat terrain toward the bay. Prominent coastal landmarks like Harbor Point and Sawyer Point break the shoreline near Hayward Bay, reflecting the region's enduring character as a quiet maritime and recreational corridor.
