To the north, lie Macomb and Oakland coun ties, to the west, lies Washtenaw, and to the south, Monroe County. The county now covers an area of approximately square miles, and, exclusive of the two cities Detroit and Wyandotte, is subdivided into twenty townships. Expressed in latitude and longitude, the county extends from approximately N. Lat. 42 -2' to 42 -27' and from W. Long. 82 -52' to 83 or through about 25' of latitude and 41' of longitude.1 From the extreme points, the county has a north and south extent of some 29 miles and an east and west extent of miles; each minute of latitude thus averaging about one and one-seventh miles and, of longitude, about seven-eighths of a mile. The county includes all the islands of Detroit River which lie west of the international boundary, two of which - Belle Isle and Grosse Isle - are of considerable size. The magnetic declination at Belle Isle in 1907 was found to be 1 29' west, and is increasing at the rate of about 3' of arc annually. ai present writing (1913) it is reported as 1 45' W.
