About this map

Sugar Island dominates this mid-century survey, positioned at a critical maritime junction where the Saint Marys River splits into the Middle Neebish Channel and Lake George. The island's geography is defined by small settlements like Baie de Wasai and Le Coy, which served as hubs for a rural community supported by institutions such as Sacred Heart Ch and Sts John and Anne Ch.

Social life is anchored by the Town Hall and Farmers Hall, while the Hiawatha Sch stands as a local landmark. The map documents an intricate shoreline featuring points like Whipple Point and Ninemile Pt, along with several offshore islands including Gem Island and Advance Island. The international boundary between the United States and Canada is clearly delineated in the waters of Lake George, marking the edge of the Chippewa County jurisdiction.
