About this map

Sault Ste. Marie serves as a busy international gateway along the Saint Marys River, where the southern expansion of the city meets the edge of the Hiawatha National Forest. This mapping of the eastern Upper Peninsula illustrates a landscape defined by its relation to the water, from the complex network of islands like Sugar Island and Rotary Island to the distinct Little Rapids Channel. The urban grid transitions from the historic Chippewa County Courthouse and Lake Superior State University southward into agricultural tracts and woodlots.

Local history is well-represented through the presence of several established burial grounds, including Maple Ridge Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Rosedale Cem. Transportation and infrastructure are central to the area's layout, anchored by the Sault Ste Marie Municipal Airport/Sanderson Field and outlying settlements like Gardenville and Rosedale. The proximity to the Canadian border is ever-present, with the river serving as both a divider and a connector for this northern community.
