About this map

The Menominee River carves a winding path along the state border in this 2019 survey, defining the rugged geography between Wisconsin and Michigan. The river is punctuated by several significant landforms including Ile Le Grand, Long Island, and the Pemebonwon Islands near the mouth of the Pemebonwon River. These islands and the surrounding wetlands mark a transition between the more developed areas to the east and the forest-rich interior to the west.

Local settlements are concentrated near the eastern edge, with the community of Faithorn serving as a primary landmark. Notable sites for researchers include Saint Marys Church and the nearby Riverside Cem. Further west, the small settlement of Kremlin and various landmarks like Grangers Point and Nose Peak Island illustrate the area's history of river-based navigation and timber management in the Menominee Valley.
