About this map

St Joseph Island and the neighboring Lime Island dominate the aquatic boundary where the Saint Marys River meets Potagannissing Bay. This maritime landscape is defined by the United States Canada international border, which weaves through the channel between the islands. On the mainland, De Tour Village serves as the primary coastal settlement, located at the southern terminus of North Road.

Genealogists and local historians can locate community landmarks such as Sacred Heart Ch and Sacred Heart Cem near the shoreline. The map documents several small resource-driven features, including a Gravel Pit and several light stations marking hazardous points like Pipe Island and Archibald Island. The inclusion of Old Fort St Joe Point on the southern tip of St. Joseph Island provides a specific geographic reference to the area's colonial-era military history.
