1929 Map of Wyandotte

About this map

The Detroit River serves as the focal point for this tactical survey, illustrating the complex maritime and industrial corridor between Michigan and the Dominion of Canada. On the American shore, the expanding footprints of Wyandotte and Trenton are balanced by the intensive rail networks of the Michigan Central RR and the Detroit Monroe and Toledo Shore Line Electric Ry. The map provides exceptional detail on the river's geography, from the residential development on Grosse Isle to the industrial utility of the Livingston Channel. Navigational aids like the Mamajuda Light and Fort Malden Range Lights near Amherstburg highlight the river's role as a critical thoroughfare. Further south, the landscape transitions into the marshy drainage basins of Silver Creek and Smith Creek before reaching the open waters of Lake Erie at Pt Mouille.
