About this map

The Menominee River serves as the winding interstate border between Marinette County, Wisconsin, and Menominee County, Michigan. This riparian landscape is defined by the Chappee Rapids and several small tributaries including Sobiesky Cr and Mortin Cr. Near the river's upper reaches on this sheet, Saint Mary's Mission Cem and the settlement of Winesville represent the area's early Catholic and community foundations.

Further south, the urban extent of Menominee begins to take shape, anchored by the Menominee-Marinette Twin County Airport. The transition from rural forest and wetlands to municipal development is evident around Rubys Corner. Notable water features such as Quimby Slough and Little River cut through the eastern Michigan side, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this Great Lakes borderland region.
