About this map

Miscauno Island sits as a central landform in the Menominee River, marking the boundary between Marinette County, Wisconsin, and Menominee County, Michigan. This map shows a landscape defined by the winding river and its various tributaries, such as Silver Creek and McAllister Creek. The area is characterized by a mix of recreational water bodies and utility roads, including Sunset Lake, Dawn Lake, and the small McAllister Pond.

Remote transportation is visible via the Shangrila Airport and several forest roads like Forest Rd 404. The presence of Chalk Hill and the cascading Pemene Falls indicates a terrain with significant vertical relief compared to the surrounding wetlands and sloughs. For the local historian or genealogist, the network of timber-era paths and the historic Menominee Trl trace the movement of people and resources through this borderland region.
