About this map

Lake George and the winding Old Channel define the international boundary landscape in this 2017 survey of the border region between Michigan and Canada. The settlement of Churchville sits near the water's edge in Chippewa County, serving as a primary point of interest in an area otherwise characterized by its intricate hydrography and wetland networks. The map details the precise line where the United States of America meets its northern neighbor, illustrating how the historical shipping channels and natural water bodies dictate the modern political frontier. Genealogists and local historians can trace the specific land divisions and rural road structures that support this quiet riverine community along the northern reach of the Great Lakes water system.
