About this map

The settlement of Vega sits at the heart of this Menominee County landscape, situated near the headwaters of several drainage systems. This interior portion of the Upper Peninsula is defined by the winding course of the Cedar River and its numerous tributaries, including Nacomis Creek, Pittsburg Creek, and Labre Creek. The map documents a dense network of water features and wetlands characteristic of the region, ranging from the isolated Lake Number Eighteen to the south to the West Branch Cedar River in the east.

Transportation in the area relies on a grid of rural routes and specialized trails, such as Sand Rd and the Up2 Trl, which navigate the various townships. Researchers can trace the path of the Powers-arnold Route Trl as it cuts across the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrography that has shaped local land use, from the banks of Tenmile Creek to the smaller flows of Spruce Creek and Vega Creek.
