About this map

The Menominee River and Brule River define the boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan on this borderlands survey. This region is shaped by its extensive water network, including the Spread Eagle Chain of Lakes and large reservoirs like Peavy Pond. The settlement of Florence serves as a primary hub, flanked by smaller communities such as Commonwealth and Hematite.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the town layouts of Florence and Spread Eagle, while also locating established burial grounds like Woodlawn Cem and Saint Marys Cem. The landscape transitions from the developed centers to the wooded shores of Michigamme Lake and Baird Lake. Distinctive features like Robbins Island and Eagle Island illustrate the intricate shoreline of the southern lake chain, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to these inland waterways.
