2014 Map of Bear Point

About this map

The Menominee River serves as the winding natural boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan on this modern survey, defining the northern edge of the landscape. To the south, a dense network of water bodies characterizes the terrain, including the northern reach of Lake Noquebay and the smaller Lake Mary and Lake Julia. The presence of Upper Inlet and Stephenson Lake highlights the marshy, low-lying drainage patterns that dictate local road placement. While much of the land is defined by water and wetlands, topographical features like Bear Mtn and Oak Hill rise above the river valley. The small settlement of Goll and landmarks like The Oxbow and Bear Point mark established points of human activity in an area largely dominated by woodland and lakefront properties.
