About this map

The Menominee River serves as the state boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan, carving a winding path through the landscape near Bear Point. This borderland terrain is characterized by its numerous glacial water bodies, including the centrally located Lake Mary, Lake Julia, and Stephenson Lake. The small settlement of Goll appears in the southeastern quadrant, connected to the wider region by a network of rural routes such as Co Hwy X and the legacy path of the Old Rail Rd.

Notable elevations like Bear Mtn and Oak Hill rise above the surrounding wetlands and river bends. The map details complex hydrography, including the curiously named Poche de Noche and the dramatic river loop known as The Oxbow. This area preserves a quiet, forest-and-water-dominated landscape where local roads like Snakey Lake Rd and Poch Du Noch Rd lead to secluded lakeshores and riverfront points.
