About this map

Saint Marys River defines the intricate border between Michigan and Ontario in this detailed topographic survey. The landscape is dominated by large riverine islands and complex waterways, including the West Neebish Channel and Middle Neebish Channel, which facilitate transit through the Great Lakes system. On the western shore of Neebish Island, the small settlement of Oak Ridge sits near the Ferry Rd crossing, reflecting the maritime reliance of these isolated communities.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous small burial grounds and landmarks scattered across the islands. From the Haynes Family Cem and Laitinen Family Cem on Neebish Island to the Duck Island Cem further north, the map documents private and denominational heritage sites like the Neebish Island Presbyterian Cem. Aviation history is also represented at Franklin's Airport, while the shoreline is marked by named points such as Indian Point and Sawmill Point.
