The Detroit River serves as the primary artery for the region, bordered by heavy industry such as the Oil Refinery and Sibley Quarry. Communities like Wyandotte and Trenton are tightly packed with mid-century civic infrastructure, including schools like Aquinas High Sch and St Francis Cabrini High Sch. The map reveals the intricate drainage network essential to the area's development, featuring the Frank and Poet Drain and Blakely Drain winding toward the river.
