About this map

De Tour Village occupies a strategic position at the entrance to the De Tour Passage, where the Saint Marys River meets the open waters of Lake Huron. The landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, characterized by numerous bays such as Carlton Bay and Olmstad Bay, and a series of rocky landmarks including Point De Tour and Rice Point. This 2011 survey documents the nautical infrastructure essential to the region, featuring the De Tour Lighthouse and the Drummond Island Ferry terminal.

Inland, the terrain transitions to a network of freshwater bodies like Caribou Lake and Hartley Lake. Local history is anchored by the De Tour Village Post Office and two distinct burial grounds, Riverview Cemetery and Bob Hill Cemetery. The mapping of small offshore features like Frying Pan Island and Strawberry Island highlights the navigational challenges and geographical character of this Upper Peninsula maritime community.
