About this map

Saint Marys River and the complex archipelago of the Potagannissing Bay dominate this 1984 planimetric study of Chippewa County's easternmost reaches. The map illustrates the specialized landscape of Drummond, where the Lake Superior State Forest covers much of the interior. Settlement patterns are concentrated around Drummond and De Tour Village, linked by the Detour Passage.

Information-gain insights are found in the island's industrial and recreational infrastructure, notably the large Quarry on the western shore and the Drummond Island Airport. The interior is characterized by a series of numbered water bodies including First Lake and Third Lake, while the northern coast reveals the Maxton plains area. This map captures the international boundary between Ontario and Michigan as it threads through the channel north of Burnt Island.
