About this map

The Menominee River carves a winding path along the border of Wisconsin and Michigan, defining the northern landscape of this Marinette County region. Prominent riverine features like The Oxbow, Bear Point, and Baker Island highlight the complex hydrology of the valley, while the inland terrain is dotted with significant glacial lakes including Lake Mary, Lake Julia, and Stephenson Lake. This area, characterized by a mix of wetlands and wooded uplands, is bisected by a network of rural roads that connect small clearings and local landmarks such as Oak Hill and Bear Mtn.

The settlement of Goll stands as a primary point of reference in the southeastern corner, serving as a hub for the surrounding township. Significant local family names and landmarks are preserved in the road network, with routes like Poch Du Noch Rd and Seefeldt Rd cutting through the forest. To the southwest, the edge of Lake Noquebay appears, anchoring a landscape where water and timber have traditionally shaped the local economy and settlement patterns.
