About this map

The Green Bay coastline and the dense wetlands of the Upper Peninsula define this landscape along the border of Menominee and Delta counties. Much of the interior is managed as part of the Escanaba River State Forest, characterized by expansive lowlands like Sevenmile Marsh and Lake Thirtysix Marsh. These marshes feed a network of small waterways, including Advent Cr and Olson Creek, which drain toward the larger Cedar River and the bay.

Evidence of rural community life is concentrated along the western roads, where the Advent Sch and local crossings like Jam Dam Bridge and McCarty Bridge served the townships of Gourley and Cedarville. The presence of several gravel pits and the specific naming of Mack Spring suggest a landscape where residents relied on local natural resources. The transition from the forest interior to the prominent shoreline at Seagull Point illustrates the typical coastal geography of the northern Great Lakes in the late twentieth century.
