About this map

Whitefish Bay and Tahquamenon Bay define the northern shoreline of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the waters of Lake Superior meet a complex network of coastal wetlands and inland lakes. The area is marked by distinctive geographical features like Naomikong Island and Menekaunee Point. A significant site for local history is the Naomikong Point Cemetery, located near the mouth of Naomikong Creek.

Inland, the terrain is characterized by numerous small water bodies, including McNearney Lake, Peck and Rye Lake, and Naomikong Lake. The presence of the McNearney Lake Tower suggests a history of forest surveillance. Transportation in this forested region relies on a grid of specific routes such as S Salt Point Rd, S Parker Row, and W Trustee Row, which navigate the drainage basins of Mill Creek and Halfaday Creek.
