About this map

The Black River flows southward through this Sanilac County landscape, anchoring a network of agricultural drainage systems and small-town Michigan settlements. The village of Applegate sits at the intersection of Applegate Rd and Sherman Rd, while the larger community of Croswell occupies the southeast corner, where the river winds toward the lake. This area is defined by its rectilinear road grid, which follows section lines established during the early land surveys.

Genealogists and local historians can find two notable burial sites: Steckley Cem in the north and Mt Hope Cem near Croswell. The terrain is marked by numerous named water features including Arnot Cr, Elk Creek, and several agricultural waterways like Taylor Drain and Potts Drain. A small industrial or local feature labeled Ranae appears north of M-90, illustrating the continued intersection of commerce and rural life in the Thumb region.
