I was just watching a History Guy Doc on YouTube about the founding of Detroit by Cadillac. This map puzzled me because of the Islands smack in the middle of Lake St. Clair!
I know cartographers of the time could be way, way off. But this?
What happened, dredging? High water levels? Those islands are huge.
Unknown date of map.
