About this map

Drummond Island is depicted here as a dense mosaic of inland lakes and coastal features, characterized by the remote reach of the Munuscong State Forest in northern Michigan. The small settlement of Lincoln and the nearby Finnish Cem reflect the localized heritage of this part of Chippewa County, while the Drummond Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the timbered interior.

The coastline is intricately detailed with deep inlets like Scammon Cove and Canoe Bay, providing a clear record of the shoreline before modern development. Notable hazards and landmarks along the edge of Lake Huron are identified, including Horseshoe Reef and Holdridge Shoal. Numerous small water bodies such as Maki Lake, Pats Lake, and Toivola Lake suggest a landscape shaped by glacial activity and drainage into the Great Lakes system.
