Campus Martius Park

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Campus Martius Park is a re-established park in downtown Detroit, Michigan which anchors the Campus Martius neighborhood and office district. After the fire of 1805, Campus Martius was the focal point of judge Augustus Woodward's plans to rebuild the city. It is where the "point of origin" of Detroit's coordinate system is located. Seven miles north of this point is Seven Mile Road; eight miles north is Eight Mile Road, and so on. The precise point of origin is marked by a medallion embedded in the stone walkway. It is situated in the western point of the diamond surrounding the Woodward Fountain, just in front of an Au Bon Pain store.
