About this map

The Wolf River and its dramatic hydraulic features dominate this Menominee County landscape, carving through the terrain near the settlement of Keshena. The river's path is marked by a series of natural landmarks, including Keshena Falls, Wolf River Rapids, and Big Eddy Falls, which historically influenced the development and placement of local communities. To the west, Middle Village sits near the border of Shawano Co and Menominee Co, while the West Branch Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest in the northern portion of the quadrangle.

A network of local and Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Crow Settlement Rd and BIA Rte 39, connects the scattered water bodies of the region, including Malone Lake and the northern reaches of Legend Lake. The map reveals a landscape defined by its tributary systems, with Chickney Cr, Oshkosh Cr, and Minnow Cr feeding into the primary river corridors, creating a complex hydrography that has shaped the area's geography and settlement patterns.
