About this map

The Menominee River serves as the winding border between Michigan and Wisconsin, anchoring the industrial and residential development of Iron Mountain and Kingsford. This area, deeply rooted in the mining and manufacturing history of the Upper Peninsula, is defined by significant terrain and industry markers like Pine Mtn and the site of the Chapin Mine. The map reveals a landscape heavily influenced by water management and power, featuring the Twin Falls Flowage, Hydraulic Falls, and Horserace Rapids.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the Ford Airport serving the region and the Wisconsin Michigan railroad line cutting through the northern timberlands. Smaller settlements like Quinnesec, Skidmore, and Niagara follow the river valley, while numerous local landmarks such as Park Cem and Lake Antoine provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing the evolution of these border communities.
