About this map

The delta complex of the Saint Clair River unfolds across this map, showcasing the intricate network of channels and islands where the river meets Lake Saint Clair. Settled areas like Miller and Riverside cling to the narrow banks of the Saint Clair River, positioned along the international border between the United States and Canada. The landscape is defined by a maze of waterways, from the Middle Channel Saint Clair River to the Old Channel, separating massive landforms like Harsens Island and Dickinson Island.

A system of uniquely named highways, such as the Baltimore Highway and Snake Highway, navigate the marshy terrain of the Saint Clair Flats. These routes connect remote points like Munro Point and Fish Point, reflecting a long history of water-based transport and seasonal settlement in one of the Great Lakes' most distinctive freshwater deltas. Smaller features like Muscamoot Ridge and Gooseneck Pond further illustrate the fragmented, aquatic nature of this borderland environment.
