About this map

Neebish Island and the intricate waterways of the Saint Marys River define this corner of Chippewa County, where the shipping channels of the Great Lakes meet the quiet marshlands of the Upper Peninsula. The small settlement of Munuscong sits at the edge of a landscape dominated by the expansive Gogomain Swamp and the slow-moving waters of the West Branch Gogomain River. This area is characterized by a high concentration of named points and islands, including Sawmill Point, Moon Island, and Winter Point, which served as critical landmarks for navigating the West Neebish Channel.

The road network, including E 18 Mile RD and S Scenic DR, reflects the remote nature of the terrain, often following the natural contours of the shoreline and swamp margins. Significant hydrographic features like the South Branch Gogomain River drain into the wider bay, while local landmarks such as Barbeau Point and Roach Point indicate a long history of water-based activity and coastal settlement patterns in this northern riverine environment.
