Ford lake is a lake in the Huron River, a River that runs through a couple other citys (Such as Ann Arbor and Dexter). From what I heard from my parents, Ford Lake was a dumping spot for the Ford Plant nearby. They dumped waste and chemicals, killing much of the fish and poisoning the water, it would make you sick if you swam or ate fish from it. Luckly, Ford was banned from dumping there later. The Ford plant is still in use today.
I live near here (If you look at the Real Life comparison map, I live in Smokler). It's a really nice lake to look out, expecaly near Belleville, a town not far from Ypsi (Nickname the locals call Ypsilanti).

Keep in mind that this is the first time I tried to remake a real life spot (I've made a few maps before, but none got through because of bad pictures >_<' Never knew pictures were that hard to shrink in size) The land is steep in spots near the lake actually.
BTW, the conversion between SC4 and TS2 flips maps around, so it looks awkward to the map. I think I should work at places without roads first though, placing roads were hard, this area's big!
Here's the map from Google Maps:
