About this map

The St Clair River corridor serves as the industrial and international backbone of this 1929 tactical map, showing the dense rail and ferry connections between Port Huron, Michigan, and Sarnia, Ontario. A complex web of transportation infrastructure is evident, including the Grand Trunk railroad lines and the notable Tunnel connecting the two nations beneath the riverbed. Along the western shore, the growth of Marysville and South Park reflects early 20th-century expansion, while smaller stops like Harts Sta and Bemer Road Sta indicate a landscape still tied to local rail service.

Downstream, the map details numerous small creeks such as Bunce Cr and Talfourd Cr feeding into the main channel near Stag I. The Ontario side features established settlements like Corunna and Courtright, contrasted with the specialized grounds of the Point Edward Fair Grounds. This survey, compiled from Army field work and Lake Survey revisions, provides a distinct look at the maritime border before mid-century modernization.
