About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern edge of this Michigan coastline, where the waters of Green Bay meet a series of prominent landforms including Stony Point, Beattie Point, and Juttner Point. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Birch Creek, Springer Creek, and Turtle Creek, which flow through the forested and marshy terrain of Menominee County. Small clusters of development are scattered along the coast and inland road networks, marked by settlements like Ingallston and Eagles Nest.

For local history and genealogy research, the northern portion of the map highlights the Birch Creek Cem near the intersection of Birch Creek Road No 6. The grid of the city of Menominee begins to appear in the south, where residential streets such as 34th Ave and 48th Ave meet the banks of Hay Creek. Named thoroughfares like Million Dollar Rd and various numbered lanes provide a clear view of the rural and suburban connectivity in the early twenty-first century.
