About this map

Johnswood sits along the western edge of this coastal Michigan landscape, where the land meets the northern waters of Lake Huron. The terrain is defined by a dense network of inland water bodies and marshes, including Jarvinen Marsh Lake, Dickenson Lake, and Dry Lake, which feed into the Potagannissing River. Toward the south, the irregular shoreline is marked by prominent landforms such as Scammon Point and Long Point, leading into the expansive Big Shoal Cove.

The international boundary between the United States and Canada cuts diagonally across the False Detour Channel at the southeastern corner of the map. This area remains largely transitional, with many local roads like S Turkey Farm Rd and E Bass Cove Rd providing access to the interior woods and coastal reaches such as Big Shoal Beach. Small islets like Shelter Island dot the protected waters of Little Shelter Bay, illustrating the complex maritime geography of the Chippewa County coast.
