About this map

Johnswood sits as a primary point of reference in this coastal landscape of Chippewa County, where the terrestrial environment meets the expanse of Lake Huron. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and inland water bodies, including Jarvinen Marsh Lake and Pine Lake, which drain toward the shore through Dickenson Cr. This area is characterized by its prominent maritime features such as Scammon Point and Long Point, which shelter a series of coves and bays like Big Shoal Cove and Little Shelter Bay.

A network of local roads, including Glen Cove Rd and Long Point Rd, provides access to the shoreline and the internal woodlands. The presence of the United States of America Canada boundary running through the False Detour Channel highlights the strategic position of this island landscape at the international border. The abundance of named coastal features like Big Shoal Beach and Bass Cove underscores the region's historic orientation toward the water.
