Campus Martius Park
Campus Martius Park is a re-established park in downtown Detroit, Michigan. In 1805, Campus Martius (named after the Latin for "Field of Mars" where Roman heroes walked), was the focal point of judge Augustus Woodward's plans to rebuild the city following a disastrous fire earlier that year. It is where the "point of origin" of Detroit's coordinate system is located. Seven miles (11 km) north of this point is 7 Mile Road; eight miles (13 km) north is 8 Mile Road, and so on.Top photos chosen by u all:
