About this map

The St Clair River serves as the dominant spine of this international border region, separating the industrial and residential developments of St Clair in Michigan from the rural expanses of Moore and Sombra townships in Ontario. The maritime and industrial character of the waterway is evident through features like the Stag Island St Clair River range lights, the Canadian Customs office at Courtright, and various shoreline facilities including a Sewage Disposal plant and Substation.

On the American side, the landscape is defined by established community infrastructure such as St Marys Church, Eddy Sch, and River District Hospital. To the east, the Ontario landscape reflects a burgeoning energy economy, marked by clusters of Oil Wells and Gas Wells near Seckerton and Payne. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks follow the river's eastern bank, connecting the small riverside settlements of Mooretown and Courtright while bypassing the more agricultural interior near Ladysmith.
