Abstract

Manitoulin Island is located in the northern part of Lake Huron (from 45030' to 46000' N. and 81?30' to 83?15' W.) and together with several neighboring islands and a small portion of the mainland to the northeast, constitutes the District of Manitoulin in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Geographically and geologically it is a link between the Bruce Peninsula to the southeast and Drummond Island and the northern peninsula of Michigan to the northwest. Manitoulin Island is roughly eighty miles long, thirty miles wide at the broadest portion, and has a land area of nearly 1100 square miles. About forty percent of the island is farm land. There are many inland lakes on the island, the three largest, Lakes Manitou, Mindemoya, and Kagawong, presenting a total water surface of over sixty-five square miles.
