About this map

The Menominee River serves as the primary geographic corridor on this map, marking the boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan during the late 1940s. The landscape reflects an era of industrial and agricultural development, characterized by the presence of both the Ingalls-Grand Rapids Dam and the Ingalls Dam. A network of rural communities is scattered across the terrain, including McAllister, Wagner, Goll, and Packard.

Evidence of the region's timber history is visible in the Old Logging Railroad Grade, which snakes through the western sections. Local civic life is anchored by several rural institutions, such as the McAllister Sch, Goll Sch, and a Town Hall. Notable landmarks like Goll Cem and a designated County Park provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians researching the families and infrastructure of this riverfront border region.
