This is a very detailed geological map that covers the region from Portage Lake to the tip of the point and also shows Manitou Island. A color-coded key locates geological units including sandstone, conglomerate, trap and jasper. The legend locates minerals, active and abandoned mines, and furnaces. A scale below title converts chains to miles. Fancy title lettering.
