1964 Map of Drummond SE

About this map

Drummond Island anchors this coastal survey, showcasing the remote wilderness of the Upper Peninsula just before the mid-1960s. The landscape is dominated by the Maxton Plains in the north and the expansive Lake Superior State Forest, which covers much of the interior. A complex network of inland water bodies, including Second Lake, Third Lake, and Stevens Lake, are connected by the Potagannissing River, illustrating a classic glacial drainage pattern. Along the shoreline, prominent features like Raynolds Point and Shoal Point reach into the North Channel, marking the maritime border between the United States and Canada. Submerged navigational hazards such as Humphrey Rock and Lindsay Bank highlight the importance of hydrographic data for vessels navigating these northern waters.
