About this map

The Menominee River serves as the prominent natural boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan, cutting through a landscape defined by its complex river systems and glacial lakes. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain heavily influenced by the Pine River and the meandering Little Popple River, where modern road networks like Main Rd and Co Rd N provide access to the waterfront properties of Ellwood Lake and Sand Lake.

Evidence of local development and resource management appears through features such as Power Dam Rd and various fire lanes, including Fire Lane Rd, which indicate a balance between infrastructure and forest preservation. The map preserves the names of numerous smaller water bodies and tributaries, such as Frog Lake and Lepdog Cr, that are essential for tracing local hydrology and land use patterns in this border region.
