About this map

The Menominee River carves a winding path along the state line in this 2017 survey, separating Michigan's Menominee and Dickinson Counties from Wisconsin's Marinette County. This border landscape is defined by its complex fluvial features, including the Pemebonwon Islands, Ile Le Grand, and the aptly named Long Island. Small clusters of development appear at Faithorn, Michigan, and Kremlin, Wisconsin, representing the human footprint in an otherwise water-dominant terrain.

Tracing the waterways reveals the confluence of the Sturgeon River and the North Branch Pemebonwon River with the Menominee. Local heritage is rooted in landmarks such as Saint Marys Church and the Riverside Cem, while the interior is crisscrossed by rural routes like Bull Dam Rd and Sturgeon Dam Rd, suggesting a history tied to river management and timber transport. The map also captures several smaller lakes, such as Merryman Lake and Lake Shannon, scattered through the woods.
