About this map

Marquette Island and its surrounding archipelago dominate this 2017 survey of the Les Cheneaux region in Lake Huron. The landscape is defined by complex shorelines and narrow waterways like the Les Cheneaux Channel, which separates the islands from the mainland near Patrick Landing. Local history is anchored at the northeastern corner by the Edgewood Cem, while the western edge of the map shows a portion of the Hiawatha National Forest.

Navigation and access to the interior are marked by primitive routes such as the Logging Trl and Boggy Path, reflecting the area's timber history and natural terrain. Outlying features like Goose Island and the expansive Goose Island Shoal to the south emphasize the importance of maritime awareness in these waters, where numerous points and bays, including Brulee Point and Wilderness Bay, create a sheltered but intricate coastal environment.
