Title: Detroit, MI, Toledo, OH and Lake Erie
Description:
Greater Detroit (42.0N, 82.5W) is located at the southeastern border of
Michigan on the Detroit River across from Windsor, Ontario, Canada and Lake
Huron to the north. The river connecting Lake Erie is a channel left over
from the Ice Age Glaciers. The land use pattern in this scene is typical
of this part of the upper midwest. The once extensive forests have been
cleared for farmland and pasture, but narrow rows of trees still line farm
boundries.
