mackinac island is only 3.7 sq. miles. much too small for a major city, and it's roughly 2.5 miles away from the nearest mainland in st. ingace. that ain't no east river.
nearby bois blanc island, at ~35 sq, miles, would have been much more suitable size wise, but lacks mackinac's topography. and it's over 3.5 miles away from the nearest mainland.
if a major city were to have ever developed in the straits area, it would have probably been where st. ignace is located (better natural harbor than mack city).
