About this map

Drummond Island marks a unique junction of maritime geography and international borders in northern Lake Huron. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Maxton Plains and a complex archipelago within Potagannissing Bay, including Harbor Island and Peck Island. The international boundary between the United States and Canada is clearly defined to the north, cutting across the open waters of the Chippewa Bank.

Local history is preserved in the island's interior, where legacy sites like Saint Florence Catholic Church and the Drummond Cem anchor the community. The infrastructure reflects a blend of conservation and local industry, with the Harbor Island National Wildlife Refuge protecting the western islands while the Drummond Island Airport and roads like S Maxton Rd facilitate movement across the limestone-rich landscape. Interior water bodies such as Marl Lake and Grand Marais Lake provide further evidence of the island's diverse glacial topography.
