About this map

Lake Erie defines the eastern boundary of this survey, where the Michigan shoreline is a complex network of coastal settlements and managed waterways. Residential developments like Woodland Beach and Detroit Beach sit low against the water, protected by the Monroe Harbor of Refuge to the south. Further inland, the landscape is defined by an extensive drainage system, including the Miller and Malosh Drain and Webb and Reisdorf Drain, which channel water toward Stony Creek and the bay.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as Old Saint Charles Cemetery and Newport Cemetery near the northern settlement of Oldport. The presence of the Newport Woods Airport and the Old Town Golf Course near Golfcrest reflects the mid-century transition of this area from purely agricultural and wetland terrain into a suburban and recreational corridor. The southern edge reaches the industrial waters of the River Raisin and the Turning Basin Port of Monroe.
