2017 Map of Stephenson

About this map

Stephenson and Daggett serve as the primary hubs in this southern Menominee County landscape, situated along the north-south transport corridor that follows the Little Cedar River. The settlement pattern reflects the area's agricultural and rural character, with many farm-to-market roads such as Belgiumtown Rd and Wangerin Rd cutting across the terrain. Of particular interest to genealogists is the density of local burial sites, including the Danish Cem and Stephenson Cem north of the village center, and the Bethlehem Covenant Cem further east near the community of Palestine. The geography is defined by a network of drainage ways like Hugos Brook and Grant Brook, which feed into the larger river systems and punctuate the low-lying wetlands that characterize much of this Upper Peninsula region.
