About this map

Sugar Island sits at the maritime crossroads of the Great Lakes, where the Saint Marys River splits into the Middle Neebish Channel and Lake Nicolet. This mid-century survey reveals a community-centered landscape on the island, anchored by the settlement at Baie de Wasai and rural gatherings at the Town Hall and Farmers Hall. Education and faith are well-marked through the presence of Edison Sch, Hiawatha Sch, and churches like Sacred Heart Ch and Sts John and Anne Ch.

The map details the complex shoreline of the international border, tracing the United States Canada boundary through Lake George. Notable coastal features like Whipple Point and Hay Point are mapped alongside several Submerged Crib markers and dumping grounds, reflecting the active navigational and industrial use of these vital waterways. Interior drainage is defined by Rock Bottom Creek, providing a look at the island's terrain before modern development.
