The original of this map is in the Public Record office, Keiv (U.K.) Penfold No. 2541 Date provided by D. Heldman, Archaeology, Machinac Island State Park Commission.
Le plan est divisé en deux parties. L'une montre le fort en détail. A l'intérieur de l'enceinte on voit les édifices qui sont listés en légende. Une note presque illisible dit "Plan of the [Montreal-Murdered?] Garrison of Michillimakinac". Après, on ajoute la position astronomique du fort. L'autre partie de la carte montre le fort sur la pointe de terre, sur la rive sud du détroit de Mackinac, où les lacs Michigan et Huron se rencontrent.
