About this map

Algonac serves as the gateway to the intricate delta landscape of the Saint Clair River, where the international border with Canada follows the river’s deep-water course. This 2017 study illustrates the complex network of distributaries, including the North Channel Saint Clair River, the Middle Channel Saint Clair River, and the South Channel. These waterways isolate massive landforms such as Dickinson Island and Harsens Island, the latter of which features its own Harsens Island Airport and the Harsens Island Drain.

Along the shoreline, residential and maritime clusters like Pearl Beach, Pointe aux Chenes, and Grande Pointe are connected by roads like Pointe Tremble Rd. The map documents the persistent importance of water-based transit, specifically the Walpole - Algonac Ferry. Further south, the landscape transitions into the Saint Clair Flats, a region dominated by wetlands and interior lakes like Goose Lake and Snooks Lake before opening into Lake Saint Clair.
