About this map

North Lake and the surrounding wetlands of Menominee County dominate this landscape near the shores of Green Bay. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of moving and still water, where the Cedar River and Walton River wind through extensive marshlands like Durrow Marsh and Horseshoe Marsh. These low-lying areas are punctuated by small bodies of water including Hoglund Lake and Westman Lake, creating a complex aquatic environment typical of Michigan's Upper Peninsula lake country.

Human activity is evidenced by a grid of rural routes and specialized paths, notably the Cedar River Pathway which tracks the river's course. Local transportation is supported by named thoroughfares such as Jimtown Road F 3 and Westman Dam Rd, while several logging roads indicate the region's historical and ongoing relationship with the timber industry. The map captures a moment of quiet, water-centric geography just inland from the Great Lakes coast.
