Your question does not specify what time period you are referring to. I will assume you are asking about the colonial period of Canada's history. Therefore, the answer is: the land north of the Great Lakes was controlled by Britain, since Canada was one of her colonies. The area north of the Great Lakes was at that time part of the the colony of Upper Canada (After 1840 called Canada West). This colony was made up mostly of English-Canadians and American Loyalists.
Michigan is divided into north and south divided by the Great Lakes.

In America, there is a wide variety of natural resources. In the north, there are great lakes boasting fresh water, in the east there is plenty of forest land, and in the south the warm weather makes the land agriculturally viable. The north, south, and west have different resources depending on which country is being spoken of. In America, the south produces much of the agriculture consumed, the north has plenty of fresh water lakes, and the east has great forest land.

Your question suggests they were man-made. But they are natural features made by the normal processes of land weathering and movement.
