2014 Map of Vega

About this map

The settlement of Vega sits at the heart of this Menominee County landscape, defined by a complex network of waterways in the Upper Peninsula. The drainage pattern is dominated by the Cedar River and its various tributaries, including Nacomis Cr, Labre Creek, and the W Br Cedar River. This 2014 survey captures a rural area where the economy is clearly tied to the land and its timber resources, evidenced by a road network that includes descriptive names like Old Log Rd and Sand Rd, alongside more formal routes such as Vega Road D-1. To the west, Lake Number Eighteen provides a distinct landmark in a terrain otherwise characterized by the winding paths of Spruce Cr and Pittsburg Creek. The map illustrates the contemporary division of the land into townships such as T40N R27W and T39N R26W, showing how modern infrastructure follows these traditional survey lines.
