About this map

The St Clair River corridor serves as the industrial and international backbone of this 1949 study, marking the border between the United States and Canada. The city of Port Huron is shown in significant detail, with its dense street grid extending toward the Black River and the international Tunnel crossing. Downriver, the growing industrial footprint of Marysville sits opposite Stag Island, connected to the regional economy by the Port Huron and Detroit and Grand Trunk Western railroads.

Neighborhood life is anchored by numerous local institutions, including Roosevelt Sch, Hoover Sch, and Allendale Sch. To the north and west, the landscape transitions to a mix of rural roads and woodland, where Woodland Cem and smaller settlements like St Clair begin to appear. The inclusion of the Ontario shoreline, featuring Sarnia and Point Edward, provides a complete view of this vital Great Lakes maritime gateway.
