2011 Map of Baie de Wasai

About this map

Sugar Island and its surrounding waterways define this map, illustrating the complex geography where the Saint Marys River connects Lake Huron and Lake Nicolet. The settlement of Baie de Wasai on the island’s western shore serves as a primary reference point for researchers, with the Sugar Island Leading Light marking the nearby Little Rapids Channel. The interior of the island is crisscrossed by a grid of numbered roads, including E 6 Mile Rd and S Homestead Rd, which provide access to localized landmarks. Notable for genealogists are the scattered burial grounds that reflect the area's diverse heritage, such as the Bai-de-wasai Cemetery, the Finnish Cemetery, and the Wilwalk Cemetery. The map also captures several smaller landmasses, including Gem Island and Rock Island, positioned along the irregular coastline.
