About this map

The Middle Br Cass River winds through this agricultural landscape in Sanilac County, anchoring a network of essential drainage systems like Swan Drain and Carson Drain. Small rural settlements such as Argyle, Cumber, and Laing appear at the intersections of a regular grid of section roads, including Pringle Rd and Deckerville Rd. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent character of Michigan's Thumb region, where land use remains centered on farming and water management.

Genealogists can find several local burial grounds, notably the Saint Joseph and Saint Ignatius Cem near Freidberger and the Wheatland Cem on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Other community landmarks like the Lutheran Cem and Argyle Cem sit near the village of Argyle. The map meticulously documents the numerous named man-made waterways, such as Hobbs Drain and McIntyre Drain, which are vital to the area's hydrology and agricultural productivity.
