The 3 times that I've been to that area, I've used the Navionics Chartviewer as a starting point. You can't set up waypoints like on your boat's sonar, but it works very well for scoping out locations for depth, rocks, weeds, points and drop-offs. https://webapp.navionics.com/#boating@10&key=ihdyGdrvhN

X2 on Navionics maps (on cell phones). On mine I show depth charts for most of the areas mentioned, but not sure if waypoints can be used. It is the way to go since the main charts services (Lakemaster/Navionics) do not offer the lower French River mapping, at least past Dokis. What a fantastic area to fish and explore though.
My brother and I are going camping in the French River PP, launching from Wolseley bay at the end of the month. Last time on the French River, I was lucky to land a 54" female Muskie. (with a successful live release) Who knows, might catch her again....lol. Hopefully by months end the water temps have dropped a good 20C+ degrees so the Walleye tie will put on the feed bag.

since your launching at wolseley bay, stop in at wolseley lodge and buy a map off of Harold.
Have him point out the Twins. Which is really the only major shoal that is in the middle of a channel that I have come across. Respect all shore lines and islands and youll be fine.
Ask him to show the common routes as well.
Map is 25$ and its waterproof.
Well worth the money for me as I mark everything on this map weeds, shoals and of course my honey holes
