About this map

Saint Marys River serves as the international boundary on this survey, where the waters of the East Neebish Channel separate Michigan from Ontario. The geography is dominated by large riverine islands and shoreline points that have long influenced navigation and local settlement patterns along this maritime corridor. On the western bank in Chippewa Co, the landscape transitions from Sugar Island in the north through Lake Nicolet to the northern tip of Neebish Island in the south. Local access is marked by several rural routes including S Rains Island Rd and S Parr Rd, which connect the small island communities. Key maritime landmarks such as Harwood Point, Mirre Point, and Johnson Point delineate the complex shoreline of these river channels. The interior of these islands features varied elevations, such as Moon Hill, and smaller landmasses like Rains Island.
