About this map

The Menominee River serves as the dominant geographical feature of this 2011 survey, delineating the winding border between Michigan and Wisconsin. Along its banks, the landscape reveals a quiet history of local settlement and navigation, from the distinct Twin Island Rapids to the Chappee Rapids further downstream. The area is characterized by several small community nodes such as Miles, Rubys Corner, and Bagley Junction, which reflect the localized transportation and agricultural patterns of Menominee County.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks on either side of the river, including the Saint Mary's Mission Cemetery and the Winesville Cemetery. The presence of the Menominee-Marinette Twin County Airport in the south highlights the modern infrastructure of the Menominee vicinity, while the intricate networks of Little River, Chappee Creek, and Sobiesky Creek detail the hydrography of the region's low-lying plains.
