About this map

The Detroit River and St Clair River serve as the central arterial corridor for this mid-century look at the industrial heart of Michigan and Ontario. The expanding urban footprints of Detroit, Port Huron, and Sarnia are connected by a dense lattice of transportation infrastructure, including the Grand Trunk Western RR and several major international crossings. The map captures the region at a peak of aviation and military significance, featuring the sprawling Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport and Selfridge Air Force Base near Anchor Bay.
