Dahlia Shoals
Figure 7.1- Shaded relief map of Dahlia shoal and southwest side of Ile
aux Galets. The outline of the image is marked by numerous smooth amphitheater-like
features opening to the southwest and northwest. Their original origin
is unknown but at present they appear to be in filling with sediment.
The Dahlia shoal portion of the area southwest of the 500 m wide linear
trough has rough relief, an arcuate ridge, and radiating ridges to the
northest similar to those seen at Gull Island Reef. This area is underlain
by carbonates of the Detroit River Group (Mich. DNR). |
