About this map

Sault Ste. Marie anchors the northwestern corner of this study, where the international boundary separates the United States and Canada along the Saint Marys River. The city's footprint is characterized by a grid of early 20th-century street names such as E Portage Ave and Marquette Ave, serving as a gateway to the Hiawatha National Forest to the west. On the Michigan side, the campus of Lake Superior State Univ and the Sault Ste Marie Municipal Airport/Sanderson Field mark the southern expansion of the urban core.

Waterways dominate the landscape to the east and south, where the river splits around Sugar Island and numerous smaller landmasses like Rotary Island and Steers Island. Smaller settlements such as Gardenville and Rosedale dot the interior, punctuated by local landmarks like Saint Marys Cem and Rosedale Cem. The transition from the industrial and academic hub of the Soo to the marshes and channels of Lake Nicolet illustrates the enduring maritime character of Chippewa County.
