About this map

Belle Isle sits prominently in the Detroit River, serving as a central geographic anchor between the bustling neighborhoods of Detroit and the residential streets of Grosse Pointe Park. This modern survey reveals the island's intricate internal hydrology, featuring named bodies such as Lake Muskoday, Lake Okonoka, and Lake Tacoma. The international boundary between the United States of America and Canada is clearly delineated south of the island, cutting through the river channel.

On the mainland, the map details the dense urban grid of the East Side, stretching from the waterfront at Windmill Point north to thoroughfares like Mack Ave. Notable landmarks such as Scott Middle Ground and the southern edge of Lake Saint Clair illustrate the area's relationship with the Great Lakes waterway system. This documentation provides a contemporary view of the region's shoreline and street network, from the historic Van Dyke St corridor to the winding Marquette Dr near the riverfront.
