2019 Map of Birch Creek

About this map

The coastline of Lake Michigan along the Green Bay shore defines this portion of Menominee County, where the city of Menominee meets the marshy inlets and small drainages of the Upper Peninsula. Small settlements such as Birch Creek, Eagles Nest, and Ingallston are connected by a network of rural roads, including Co Hwy 571 and Bay De Noc Dr. The local geography is marked by numerous small streams like Beattie Cr, Springer Cr, and Birch Cr that empty into the bay near prominent landforms like Stony Point and Hall Point. In the southern reaches, the city grid of Menominee transitions into protected green space at Henes Park on Poplar Point. Local history is anchored by the Birch Creek Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this coastal community.
