About this map

The intricate waterways of the Saint Clair River delta define this maritime landscape along the international border between Michigan and Canada. Centered on the sprawling complex of islands including Dickinson Island and Harsens Island, the map reveals a unique cluster of riverfront settlements such as Sans Souci, Maple Leaf, and Pointe aux Tremble. These communities are tied to the water by a network of channels, including the North Channel and the South Channel, where the mainland and islands meet at Algonac.

Transportation patterns reflect the island-focused geography, from the Walpole - Algonac Ferry to the Harsens Island Airport. On the mainland, the Oaklawn Cem serves the local population near Pointe aux Chenes. The southern reaches of the sheet dissolve into the marshy expanses of the Saint Clair Flats, with named water bodies like Goose Lake, Snooks Lake, and Stub Lake illustrating the low-lying terrain before the river enters Lake Saint Clair.
