About this map

Green Bay waters meet the shoreline of Michigan's Upper Peninsula in this early 1960s study of the Menominee County coast. The settlement of Cedar River serves as a focal point, situated at the mouth of its namesake river near the Cedar River Cem and the extensive grounds of J W Wells State Park. Further inland, the landscape is defined by the Menominee State Forest and Cedarville State Forest, where numerous small lakes like Hoglund Lake and Westman Lake are scattered across the timbered terrain.

Evidence of local educational and religious history appears at the Dominican House of Studies near Hayward Bay, while the coastal economy is marked by scattered points such as Johnson Landing, Arthur Bay, and Beach Grove. Nautical landmarks including a Light and prominent features like Deadmans Point and Rochereau Point emphasize the area's relationship with the lake, while small inland communities like Walton and Ruleau show the footprint of mid-century rural development.
