About this map

The St. Clair River serves as the dominant corridor of this pre-war military reconnaissance, separating the bustling rail hubs of Port Huron and Sarnia. On the Michigan side, the landscape is defined by its industrial and administrative infrastructure, including the U.S. Customhouse and the Pere Marquette Ry. yards. To the south, a string of riverfront settlements and railroad stops like Marysville, South Park, and Recors indicate a region shaped by both maritime transit and overland trade.

Across the water in Ontario, the map captures an Indian Reservation and several Canadian townships including Corunna and Courtright. The river itself is a complex navigational space, marked by features such as Stag Isl. and the Corunna Range Lts.. This survey provides a precise look at the international border just before the modern era, recording vanished post offices like Bickford P.O. and localized station stops like Harts Sta. and Rankin Sta. that once linked these communities.
