About this map

The Saint Marys River defines the international boundary between Michigan and Ontario, cutting a wide path through this northern border region. Near the northeastern corner, the outskirts of Sault Ste. Marie overlook Ashmun Bay, while the Sault Ste. Marie Municipal Airport/Sanderson Field occupies the high ground to the south. The landscape is heavily marked by water and wetlands, with the East Branch Waiska River and Beaver Meadow Cr draining toward Izaak Walton Bay.

Smaller settlements like Shallows and points of interest such as Brush Point sit along the river's edge, connected by a network of rural routes like Lakeshore Dr and S Cedar Point Rd. For those interested in local history or recreation, the map details several miles of the Algonquin Ski Trail winding through the central forests and identifies the Pine Grove Cem and Cottage Park Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in Chippewa County.
