About this map

The St Clair River serves as the dominant geographical and economic artery of this region, marking the international boundary between Michigan and Ontario. Along its banks, the industrial and maritime character of Marine City is evident, supported by the Port Huron and Detroit Railroad and facilities like the Waterworks and U S Customs station. Inland, the landscape is defined by the energy sector, featuring extensive operations such as the China Belle Oil and Gas Field and the Cottrellville Oil and Gas Field, interspersed with numerous individual Gas Wells.

Smaller settlements like Starville and Roberts Landing are connected by a grid of rural roads including Marine City Highway 612 and Shea Road. Public and social life is anchored by landmarks such as Gleaners Hall, Holy Cross Sch, and several cemeteries including Woodlawn Cemetery. The southern reaches transition into the recreational grounds of Algonac State Park, while across the water, the Walpole Island Indian Reserve 46 and the town of Port Lambton represent the Canadian shoreline.
