About this map

The Little Cedar River and its tributaries, including Snow Creek and Holmes Creek, define the landscape of this Menominee County interior. The settlement pattern here is dictated by the corridor of Old US Hwy 41, which connects the small communities of Nadeau, Carney, Bagley, and Talbot. This region retains a strong connection to its pioneer and immigrant roots, evidenced by the clustered local cemeteries such as Swedish Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and Calvary Cem.

The presence of Railroad St in Carney points to the area's history as a timber and transportation hub. While much of the land is characterized by drainage features like Potterfield Creek and Boyle Creek, the map's grid of local connector roads—such as Tower Road No 30.75 and Seven Hill Road No 30—shows how the land was subdivided for rural homesteads and agriculture throughout the mid-20th century.
