About this map

The settlement of Johnswood and the jagged eastern coastline of Drummond Island dominate this 2023 survey of Chippewa County. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and inland water bodies, including Dickenson Lake, Bass Lake, and Dry Lake, separated by timbered reaches and the Potagannissing River. Toward the south, the terrain breaks into the waters of Lake Huron at Scammon Cove and Big Shoal Cove, with Scammon Point marking a prominent reach into the bay.

Modern infrastructure follows historic routes like the Drummond Island Trl and Glen Cove Rd, providing access to the various points and coves. The map also delineates the international maritime boundary within the False Detour Channel, which separates the United States of America and Canada. This contemporary study records the current state of these remote island settlements and the diverse coastal features from Big Shoal Beach to Long Point.
