About this map

The Menominee River serves as the winding border between Michigan and Wisconsin, anchoring a landscape shaped by water and early industrial transit in the early 1980s. The settlement of Faithorn stands near the eastern edge, supported by St Marys Ch and proximity to Riverside Cem. This area reveals a significant history of transportation, where the Soo Line tracks intersect with an Old Railroad Grade, tracing the path of former logging or mineral lines.

Downstream, the river becomes complex with landforms like Ile Le Grand (Grand Island) and the rushing waters of Quiver Falls. Small communities and named sites like Hamilton, Kremlin, and Fitzgerald are scattered throughout the quadrangle, interspersed with evidence of resource extraction such as a Quarry and various gravel pits. Numerous lakes and creeks, including Mary Lake and W A U C E D A H Creek, feed into the primary river systems of the Sturgeon River and Pemebonwon River.
