About this map

Old Fort Drummond marks a point of historical significance on the western edge of this island landscape, overlooking the waters of Whitney Bay. The coast is defined by a complex network of inlets and islands, including Duck Island, Garden Island, and the larger Espanore Island which shelters Island Harbor. Inland, the area is punctuated by numerous small lakes such as Parish Lake, Seaman Lake, and Bear Lake, reflecting the glacial legacy of this northern Michigan territory.

A sparse road network connects these points of interest, with routes like S Jones Lake Rd and S Cream City Point Rd navigating between the wetlands and the shore. Toward the northeast, Drummond Township Park and the Fort Drummond Marina provide focal points for community activity near Pigeon Cove. The map illustrates a landscape where the transition from dense shoreline features to the open expanse of Lake Huron dictates the pattern of human presence and access.
