About this map

Sugar Island dominates this international border landscape, surrounded by the waters of the Saint Marys River and Lake George. The island's geography is defined by a dense network of local roads and several small, significant community sites that reflect its cultural heritage. Local history is anchored by the Baie de Wasai settlement on the western shore and a series of cemeteries scattered across the island's interior and southern reaches, including the Finnish Cem, Wilwalk Cem, and the Bai-de-wasai Cem.

The map details the complex maritime navigation channels that separate the United States and Canada, such as the Little Rapids Channel, Middle Neebish Channel, and West Neebish Channel. Notable coastal features like Ninemile Point and Whipple Point provide landmarks along the transit from Lake Nicolet into the larger expanse of Lake George. Small islands like Gem Island and Advance Island dot the southern shoreline, marking the transition between the river's main flow and the broader bay.
