| Geography |
A simulated-color satellite image of Detroit taken on
NASA's Landsat 7 satellite. |
|
| Detroit is located on the north bank of the Detroit
River, between Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, in southeastern
Michigan. It lies north of Windsor, Ontario—Detroiters
sometimes quip that Canada is "our neighbor to the south."
Detroit features two public border crossings, the Ambassador
Bridge and Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, with a railroad tunnel also
connecting the two countries. |
| Detroit completely encircles the cities of Hamtramck
and Highland Park. |
| According to the United States Census Bureau,
the city has a total area of 370.2 km² (142.9 mi²).
359.4 km² (138.8 mi²) of it is land and 10.8 km²
(4.2 mi²) of it is water. The total area is 2.92% water. |
| In the satellite photograph [left], the two large
bodies of water are Lake St. Clair (northernmost) and Lake Erie.
Also notice the three systems of roads: the oldest French roads
running perpendicular to the river, radial roads from a Washington,
D.C.-inspired system and true north-south roads from the Northwest
Ordinance township system. |
