About this map

The Michigan-Wisconsin border runs through this northwoods landscape, following the winding course of the Brule River and the Paint River. This border region is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and small settlements that historically supported the timber and mining industries of the Upper Peninsula and Northeast Wisconsin. The town of Florence sits near the southeastern corner, serving as a hub near the Saint Marys Cem and the waters of Fisher Lake.

Hydrographic features dominate the terrain, including the notable Horserace Rapids on the Paint River and a collection of family-named water bodies like Bessie Babbet Lake and Olson Lake. Small communities such as Stager and Tyran are connected by a web of rural routes like Harding Rd and Stager Lake Rd, reflecting a landscape of scattered homes and seasonal retreats. The map also captures the distinct glacial topography surrounding Keyes Lake and the smaller Sea Lion Lake.
