About this map

The Menominee River forms a jagged natural boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan in this 2014 survey of the borderlands near Amberg. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the river winds past the Sixty Islands and Merryman Island. To the east in Michigan, a dense cluster of water bodies including Resort Lake, East Lake, Becher Lake, and the Shakey Lakes suggests a region heavily utilized for recreation and seasonal residency.

Land-based features of interest to local historians include the Lost Lake Cem and the Lazy River Airport situated near the river's western banks. Elevation markers like Buck Hill and Island Bluff rise above the drainage basins of Squaw Creek and the Shakey River. The map meticulously details a network of rural roads and forest routes such as Co Road 352 and River Rd, reflecting the modern infrastructure overlaying this classic Northwoods river system.
