About this map

Green Bay shorelines dominate this early 1960s survey of Menominee County, where the Cedar River meets the lake at Cedarville. The landscape is a mosaic of conservation and small coastal settlements, anchored by the J W Wells State Park and the sprawling State Forest. Evidence of local industry and spiritual life appear through various Gravel Pits and the Dominican House of Studies near Hayward Bay.

Transport and navigation are defined by the lake's reach, featuring landmarks like Deadmans Point and Harbor Point. To the south, the map reveals the layout of small communities such as Ingallston and Johnson Landing. The interior remains largely wetland and forest, drained by Darrow Creek and Fowler Creek, illustrating the transition between the agricultural lands of Daggett and Stephenson and the rocky Michigan coast.
