2016 Map of Miscauno Island

About this map

The Menominee River serves as a winding natural boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan, anchoring this topographic study of the borderlands near Pembine. At the center of the waterway lies Miscauno Island, a prominent landform surrounded by a network of local roads including Miscauno Island Dr. The landscape is defined by its water systems, from the cascading Pemene Falls to the confluence of the Pemebonwon River and numerous smaller creeks like McAllister Cr and Slough Cr. Aviation and infrastructure are represented by the Shangrila Airport and the Chalk Hill Bridge crossing, which provides access near the elevation of Chalk Hill. The eastern portion of the map, located within Michigan's Menominee County, features a dense cluster of small water bodies such as Sunset Lake, Dawn Lake, and Rosebush Lake, illustrating the post-glacial hydrology characteristic of the upper Midwest.
