About this map

Sault Ste Marie anchors this 1950s study of the international border between Michigan and Ontario, where the industrial might of the Soo Locks meets the rural reaches of Chippewa County. The map details the complex maritime infrastructure of the Saint Marys River, including the North Canal, South Canal, and the Soo Seaplane Base tucked near Mission Point. South of the urban center, the landscape transitions into agricultural blocks and scattered schoolhouses like Pine Rest Sch and Ransonville Sch.

To the east, the Little Rapids Channel separates the mainland from Sugar Island, a region defined by its propio names like Shawnee Lake and the Methodist Mission Reserve. The 1975 revisions highlight the southern expansion of the city boundary toward Gardenville, while the outlying townships of Bruce and Soo remain dotted with family-named landmarks and local cemeteries such as Rosedale Cem and St Marys Cem.
