1982 Map of Bear Point

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Menominee River serves as the winding natural boundary between Michigan and Wisconsin in the early 1980s, creating a landscape of riverine islands and sharp bends like The Oxbow. This survey captures the borderlands between Menominee and Marinette counties, dominated by the timber and recreation lands of the Escanaba River State Forest. The terrain transitions from the high ground of Bear Mountain to the extensive marshlands and water bodies of the south, including Lake Noquebay and its surrounding Lake Noquebay State Public Hunting Grounds. Small settlements and landmarks like Sturgeon Landing and the Middle Inlet Lookout Tower anchor a network of local forest roads and rural routes, while numerous gravel pits reflect the area's local resource extraction. Water access is a primary feature, with public landings at Bear Point County Park and several smaller lakes such as Lake Mary.
