The Early St. Clair stood about 20 feet above the present lakeor 595 feet above the sea, and discharged into Lake Rouge across alow ridge on which Detroit and Windsor stand. The level of LakeRouge was 585 feet above sea level or 13-14 feet above the Detroitriver. The shores of the Early St. Clair and of Lake Rouge are ratherfaint features, yet sufficiently distinct to be traceable along muchof their length in each basin. Lake Rouge had considerable extenton the Canadian side south of Windsor as well as in the lowerpart of the Rouge and Ecorse river drainage in Michigan. The early beach of Lake Erie lies inside ttie limits of the lake.It was so low that Sandusky river flowed through Sandusky Bayat a level fully 25 feet below the present level of the lake and bay,as shown bv soundings in the bav made bv Mr. E.
