About this map

Saint Marys River and its intricate network of navigation channels define this international borderland, where the West Neebish Channel and Middle Neebish Channel guide maritime traffic around the large landmass of Neebish Island. The landscape is a mosaic of water and land, featuring Sugar Island to the north and numerous smaller landforms like Sand Island and Duck Island. Settlements such as Oak Ridge and Homestead are connected by a grid of rural roads, while the presence of the Duck Island Cem, Laitinen Family Cem, and Catholic Cem provides a detailed view of the local family history and community layout.

The proximity to the Canadian border is marked by the East Neebish Channel, separating Chippewa County from Ontario. Notable local infrastructure includes Franklin's Airport and the Ferry Rd access, which underscores the historical and continued importance of water-based transit for island residents. From the open waters of Lake Nicolet to the smaller basins of Deer Lake and Roach Lake, the map documents the specialized geography of the river's eastern passage.
