About this map

The Saint Clair River corridor defines the geography of this border region, where the Michigan mainland meets the international waterway. In Saint Clair, the urban grid is anchored by the Saint Clair Post Office and the central island of Saint Clair Middle Ground, which sits at the confluence of the Pine River and the main channel. The landscape reflects a legacy of river navigation and community life, evidenced by the presence of Harts Landing Light and several established burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cemetery and Hillside Cemetery.

South of the city, the settlement of Hawthorne occupies a narrow stretch between the river and the inland marshes. This area is characterized by tributary systems like Jordan Creek and the Belle River, which flow into the Great Lakes system. Navigational markers such as Dock Upperlight at Recors Point highlight the continued importance of maritime traffic along this stretch of the St. Clair riverfront.
