About this map

The Menominee River serves as the primary geographical divider between Wisconsin and Michigan in this 2017 survey of the borderlands. The landscape is dominated by complex aquatic systems, most notably the Twin Falls Flowage and the Spread Eagle Chain of Lakes, reflecting the region's hydro-connected character. Small settlements such as Randville, Granite Bluff, and Merriman are situated along north-south transportation corridors, flanked by smaller water bodies like Spirit Lake and Browning Lake.

Remote infrastructure like the Lilienthal Airport and a dense network of local routes, including Carbis Rd and Peavy Falls Rd, provide access to the timbered areas and lakefronts. The map illustrates how human habitation in this part of the Upper Peninsula and Northeast Wisconsin has remained clustered around natural drainage points, such as the W Br Sturgeon River and Badwater Cr, even as modern surveying formalizes these historic border territories.
