2019 Map of Sault Ste. Marie South OE N

About this map

Sault Ste. Marie serves as the international focal point where the northern border of the United States meets Canada. The infrastructure of the city is defined by its critical water crossings, including the International Bridge and the Bascule Bridge, which span the Saint Marys River near the Saint Marys Falls. While the urban core is concentrated along streets like W Portage Ave and Ridge St, the landscape north of the border is dominated by a complex network of waterways. Significant drainage systems such as the Root River and its tributary, the W Root River, flow through a terrain dotted with several named bodies of water, including McIntyre Lake, Moss Lake, and Trout Lake. This geography highlights the region's reliance on both maritime engineering and its natural riparian environment at the transition between the two nations.
