2014 Map of Wilson

About this map

Wilson serves as the central hub of this Upper Peninsula landscape, situated along the corridor of Us-2 in Nadeau Township. The map illustrates a rural settlement pattern defined by family-named roads and agrarian land divisions, where Indiantown and the smaller cluster at Houle reflect the local heritage of Menominee County. The hydraulic character of the region is shaped by the Cedar River, which meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by numerous tributaries including Wilson Creek, Gorginski Cr, and Mashek Cr. Cultural sites like Wilson Cem and Harris Cem are vital markers for genealogical research, while the presence of Cheese Factory Road Number 38 points to the area's historical dairy industry. From the northern reaches near Indian Lake to the timbered areas surrounding Arnold Lake, the map records a landscape where township lines and rural routes like Co Road 557 dictate the flow of local movement.
