About this map

The Menominee River serves as the geographic and industrial spine of this borderland, where the interstate line divides Menominee, Michigan, from Marinette, Wisconsin. This late-stage survey details a landscape defined by its riverine geography, featuring a series of named islands like Stephenson Island, Boom Island, and Blueberry Island that historically supported the region's timber and milling heritage. The concentration of cemetery sites on the Wisconsin side, including Forest Home Cem, Woodlawn Cem, Hebrew Cem, and Calvary Cem, provides a significant record for genealogical research in these sister cities.

To the southwest, the Peshtigo River meanders toward the settlement of Peshtigo, cutting through a terrain marked by extensive wetlands and sloughs such as Coulter Slough and Wright Slough. The presence of an Indian Mound near the riverbank underscores the long-standing human presence at these riparian junctions, while infrastructure like the Menominee Regional Airport and Larson Airport reflects the area's modern development.
