Lake St Clair dominates the vast majority of this 2011 survey, reflecting the maritime character of the coastal communities along the western shore. The residential edge of Gross Point Shores is visible along the western margin, where the transition from land to water is marked by Gaukler Point. This specific map captures the shoreline during a period of modern suburban density, providing a clear reference for property boundaries and coastal features at the beginning of the decade. Navigational markers like the W C Miller Memorial Light help orient those researching local maritime history and the development of this affluent Michigan waterfront. The limited land area emphasizes the relationship between the suburban street grid and the open water, a defining characteristic of the Grosse Pointe region.
