The Detroit River and its industrial waterfront define this Downriver landscape, where the Trenton Channel separates the mainland from Grosse Ile and a series of river islands including Mud Island and Grassy Island. The urbanization of Wyandotte, Trenton, and Lincoln Park is visible through a dense grid of streets and significant industrial infrastructure like the Conrail lines that parallel the shore. This 2017 survey reveals the extensive network of drainage systems such as the Sexton and Kilfoil Drain and Frank and Poet Drain that have reshaped the hydrology of the former marshlands.
