2014 Map of Chappee Rapids

About this map

The Menominee River serves as the liquid border between Wisconsin and Michigan, defining the western edge of this landscape where the water breaks over Chappee Rapids and Twin Island Rapids. This 2014 survey documents the rural character of Menominee County, punctuated by small community hubs like Miles and Rubys Corner. The interior is crisscrossed by a grid of numbered roads and local lanes such as Birch Creek Rd and Sobieski Road Number 8, which navigate the drainages of Little River and Kelley Cr. Genealogists will find notable burial sites including Winesville Cem and Saint Mary's Mission Cem. To the southeast, the geography transitions from wetlands like Coulter Slough toward the northern outskirts of Menominee, highlighted by the presence of the Menominee-Marinette Twin County Airport.
