1984 Map of De Tour Village

About this map

Drummond Island and the strategic waters of the Saint Marys River define this mid-1980s survey of the northern Great Lakes borderland. The village of De Tour Village stands as a gateway at the De Tour Passage, where the mainland meets a complex network of islands and bays. Much of the land is preserved within the Lake Superior State Forest, showing a landscape dominated by inland lakes like Caribou Lake and Bear Lake alongside numerous points and coves including Seymour Point and Whitney Bay. The map documents the international boundary between Michigan and Ontario, tracing the line between the United States and Canada through Lake Huron. Small settlements like Cream City and Johnwood appear alongside industrial markings such as the Quarry on the island, illustrating the local economy's reliance on the region's natural resources and shipping lanes. The De Tour Lighthouse remains a critical maritime landmark for vessels navigating these heavy-traffic waters.
