About this map

Applegate and the northern outskirts of Croswell anchor this survey of Sanilac County’s agricultural heartland. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways designed to manage the flat terrain, including Murray Drain, Taylor Drain, and Mickelson Drain. These channels feed larger systems like Mills Cr and the Black River, which cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Genealogists can locate family landmarks such as Steckley Cem and Mount Hope Cem. The road grid follows traditional township lines, with notable routes like French Line Rd and Applegate Rd connecting the rural farmsteads. The transition from the rural plots around t11n r15e to the more developed street plan of Croswell reveals the balance between 21st-century agriculture and small-town residential growth.
