About this map

Drummond Island anchors this coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by the intersection of forest, quarrying, and military history. The site of Old Fort Drummond stands near the western shore, offering a tangible link to British occupation in the early 19th century. To the south and east, the shoreline of Whitney Bay and Huron Bay is fractured into numerous inlets and islands, including Arnold Island and the substantial Espanore Island.

Industry and natural preservation coexist across the interior, where the Munuscong State Forest covers much of the limestone-rich terrain. Two significant Quarry sites are visible, one near the fort and another larger operation near Kempainen Lake. Numerous inland water bodies like Seaman Lake and Jones Lake dot the island, while the surrounding Lake Huron provides the primary transport corridor through De Tour Passage.
