About this map

The Saint Marys River defines the landscape of this border region, where the United States Of America and Canada meet amidst a complex network of islands and channels. On the American side, the community of Oak Ridge sits positioned between the West Neebish Channel and the larger Neebish Island. This area is particularly rich in family history and local heritage, documented through numerous small burial grounds such as the Haynes Family Cem, Laitinen Family Cem, and the Neebish Island Catholic Cem.

The map details the intricate shoreline and navigational routes of the upper Great Lakes system, featuring Sugar Island to the north and a series of smaller landforms like Duck Island and the Chicken Islands. Inland, small water bodies like Deer Lake and Roach Lake are connected by local routes such as S Scenic Dr and S Rock Cut Rd. These details provide a clear view of the rural island life and the maritime geography of the eastern Upper Peninsula.
