2014 Map of Wallace

About this map

Wallace and Carbondale anchor this section of Menominee County, reflecting a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology and systematic section-line road network. The Little Cedar River and the meandering Little River dominate the western half of the quadrangle, while a cluster of inland water bodies including Hanson Lake, Myers Lake, and Hayward Lake punctuate the eastern interior. The grid of roads, such as Co Road 346 and Range Line Dr M-1, follows the township and range lines of t34n r27w and surrounding boundaries, a clear indication of the late-stage rural development in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Local history researchers will find specific interest in the named access points like Mission Church No 14 Ln and Hanson Lake Lane Number 13.5, which point to established community landmarks and seasonal settlements near the water's edge.
