1964 Map of Whitney Bay

About this map

Drummond Island anchors this coastal survey, where the rugged shoreline of Lake Huron meets a complex network of bays, harbors, and interior wetlands. The landscape is defined by the Munuscong State Forest and a series of family-named lakes, such as Kempainen Lake and Isaacson Lake, which reflect the area's local history and settlement patterns. Historical significance is marked by the presence of Old Fort Drummond and an adjacent Cem near the shores of Whitney Bay, while industrial activity is evident in the large Quarry operations near the center of the island and overlooking Detour Passage. Numerous offshore features like Espanore Island and Gravel Island illustrate the island's fragmented southern coast, where timber and stone resources historically drove the local maritime economy.
