About this map

The Menominee River serves as the winding border between Michigan and Wisconsin, anchoring this landscape of riverfront settlements and rural infrastructure. Near the river's path, the Saint Mary's Mission Cem and Winesville Cem provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research in Menominee County. The terrain is defined by a network of numbered roads and creeks, including Chappee Cr and Sobiesky Cr, which flow toward the main river channel and the Chappee Rapids.

Modern development and historic land patterns meet at Rubys Corner and the Menominee Regional Airport, which occupies the southeastern portion of the map. To the south, the river widens into Gouley Slough near Twin Island, illustrating the complex hydrography of this border region. The area's transition from forest and wetland to settled agriculture is evident in the grid of local routes like Sobieski Road Number 8 and Birch Creek Road No 6.
