The Great Lakes are important to the United States because it allows the transportation of cargo such as iron ore to travel by sea to the several States and Canada that border these lakes.

The five lakes you are inerested in are the Greta Lakes. Only Lake Michigan is entirely in the US. Lakes Superior, Huron, Erie and Ontario straddle the US/Canadian border. There is a sixth lake in the group (St. Clair) which is considerably smaller, it is also on the border.

The lakes that separate the United States of America and Canada is actually called the "great lakes". There are not these lakes across the whole border of Canada, because most of them are more to the east. If you have noticed, if you put all the great lakes together, they spell "HOME".
The Great Lakes are at the northern border of the United States, except Lake Michigan, which is completely in the United States. Needless to say, the Great Lakes are in the northern US.
