Map of River Raisin National Battlefield Park in Michigan titled, “City of Monroe Detail.” Shades of sage green outline the park area as it flanks the sky-blue streak of River Raisin, which runs through a beige cityscape.

Extended Description

On the left, two-thirds of the map area outlines the grid of the surrounding city with roads, bodies of water, and other sites marked throughout. Forking around Sisters Island, the River Raisin runs diagonally from the upper left edge to the lower right corner of the map, passing the battlefield park near the center. On the right, one-third of the map area is dominated by blue waterways, including Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge Ford Marsh Unit.

Just right of a brown swooping vertical line that marks Interstate 75, the park runs along both sides of the River Raisin, with a dark sage area jutting up near the edge of the map. Looping dashed lines within the shaded portion mark the Mason Run Loop Trail, with an adjacent loop to the lower right showing the Battlefield Loop Trail. Opposite tracks to the left, a shamrock-green callout shows a visitor center near the center of a pale sage appendage of the park. In the lower right corner of this appendage, a black square is labeled, “1904 Monument.”

Trails extend out from the monument, with one stretching right along the riverbank and another crossing over the river and veering left. This branch runs along the gray line of State Route 50/Front Street to a canoe access point on the river and is labeled, “River Raisin Heritage Trail.”

Back in the park area, a black square near the center of a narrow swath of pale sage on the lower edge of the river is labeled, “South Bank (Hellenberg Park).” At the lower rim of this area, a canoe access point is shown at the end of a gray line marking East Front Street.

From here, a narrow stretch of pale sage extends down between tracks that converge to the left of two small sage rectangles through which the blue line of Plum Creek flows. The first includes a canoe access point and small body of water, while the other appears opposite Kentucky Avenue with a gray trapezoid through the middle and black square on the left edge with a gray callout labeled, “Plum Creek.”

Outside the park area, other sites are labeled as follows: Kentucky Memorial Place to the far center left along State Route 125 near 6th Street; Wayne Stockade Site to the upper left at the intersection of State Route 125 just above the river; Winchester’s Headquarters to the upper left along Front Street just below the river; Woodland Cemetery to the center left between Navarre Street and Kentucky Ave; Detroit River IWR Plum Creek Unit along the lower left edge of the map in gray where Plum Creek converges with a body of water; Stonecrusher Drain in the upper center, which is shown as a blue line emptying into a larger body of water; and William C. Sterling State Park to the upper right, which appears as pockets and segments of gray surrounded by water with dashed trails throughout and a canoe access point in the upper right corner.
