Summary

Description
English: Detail from a copy of a 1798 map, that shows ribbon farms flanking Fort Detroit and across the river at what is now Windsor, Canada. The concept originated with "Ribbon Farms", some dating back to the time of Antoine Cadillac's founding of Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit, in July 1701.
