About this map

Lake Saint Clair defines the eastern edge of this suburban Detroit landscape, where a series of affluent communities including Grosse Pointe Farms and the Village of Grosse Pointe Shores line the waterfront. The grid of the northeastern Detroit metropolitan area is shown in meticulous detail, documenting the dense residential street network as it reaches toward the Macomb and Wayne County border. Cultural landmarks such as the Country Club of Detroit and the Immanuel Methodist Ch are noted alongside several significant burial grounds.

Historical markers like the Assumption Grotto Catholic Cem and Saint Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Cem provide important reference points for genealogists. The map also captures the local drainage and hydrology of the lakeshore, featuring the Milk River and Chapaton Drain. These details reflect the intensive development and civil engineering required to manage the coastal terrain north of the city center.
