About this map

Vega stands as the primary named settlement in this pocket of Menominee County, situated near the confluence of Vega Creek and the West Branch Cedar River. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the Cedar River, which meanders across the eastern and northern portions of the quadrangle. Smaller tributaries like Labre Creek, Pittsburg Creek, and Spruce Creek carve through the terrain, suggesting a densely wooded or rural character typical of the Upper Peninsula.

In the southwestern corner, Lake Number Eighteen provides a distinct hydrological landmark amidst the smaller streams. The layout of these water bodies, including Tenmile Creek and Menard Creek, highlights a drainage pattern that has likely influenced local land use and transit for generations. This map captures the area in 2011, documenting the persistent rural geography and naming conventions of Spalding Township.
