2017 Map of Gourley

About this map

The small settlement of Gourley serves as a quiet center for this corner of Menominee County, situated amid a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and low-lying wetlands. The Cedar River flows through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, accompanied by the Cedar River Pathway, a notable trail system that follows the river's winding course. The drainage patterns here are remarkably dense, with numerous named streams including Devils Creek, Crooked Cr, Collard Cr, and Mashek Cr feeding into larger systems or terminating in marshy pockets. This 2017 survey reveals a modern rural infrastructure of numbered county roads like Co RD 374 and Co RD 557, which provide access to the timbered and water-rich terrain of Gourley Township. The proximity of Hasper Lake and various creeks like Camp H Cr and Degraves Cr underscores the importance of local water resources to this Upper Peninsula community.
