About this map

Detroit dominates this landscape where the Detroit River forms the international boundary between the United States and Canada. The urban core is anchored by the Coleman Young Municipal Center and institutional grounds such as Wayne State University and the College for Creative Studies. To the northeast, a cluster of significant burial grounds including Elmwood Cem, Mount Elliott Cem, and Lutheran Cem preserves the city's genealogical heritage.

Industrial and strategic sites line the riverfront to the southwest, notably the historic Fort Wayne and the heavy industrial landscape of Zug Island at the mouth of River Rouge. Connection to neighboring Ontario is illustrated by the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit Windsor Tunnel, while the MacArthur Bridge provides access to the parklands of Belle Isle. The map also captures the outlying communities of Delray, River Rouge, and Ecorse, showing the dense grid of streets that defines this metropolitan region.
