2011 Map of La Branche

About this map

Ford River dominates this portion of the Upper Peninsula, carving a winding path through the northern landscape of Menominee County. The waterway is joined by the West Branch Ford River as it moves eastward, creating a complex drainage network typical of the region's timber and water-rich geography. Near the southern edge of the survey sits the settlement of LaBranche, a small community situated along a north-south road corridor. The map highlights the sparse, rural nature of this area in the early 21st century, focusing on the essential relationship between the few established roads and the prominent river systems that define the terrain.
