About this map

The Lake Erie shoreline of Monroe County is defined by a series of planned lakeside communities and industrial developments during the mid-1960s and early 1970s. Woodland Beach and Detroit Beach present dense residential grids along the waterfront, contrasting with the sprawling marshlands of Sterling State Park to the south. The industrial footprint of the era is anchored by the Enrico Fermi Powerplant at the edge of Lake Erie, while the maritime activity of the River Raisin is visible through the Turning Basin near the Monroe corporate boundary.

Local history is preserved in the interior through family-named landmarks and rural institutions. The map shows the Old St Charles Cem and schools like the Niedermeier Sch and Hurd Road Sch, marking the community nodes between the Penn Central rail lines and the Dixie Highway. Small aviation history is noted at Marshall Airport, while the coast terminates at the distinctive geographic features of Stony Point and Pointe aux Peaux.
