2011 Map of Brockway

About this map

Mill Creek winds through the agricultural landscape of northern Saint Clair County, serving as the central drainage for a network of named waterways including Sheehy Drain and Thody Drain. The city of Yale occupies the northwestern corner of the area, defined by its proximity to Yale Airport and the convergence of several rural thoroughfares. Further south, the settlement of Brockway sits along the creek, while Emmett anchors the southern boundary near the Pine River. This 2011 survey reveals a highly organized grid of section roads, such as Imlay City Rd and Metcalf Rd, that delineate the legacy of Michigan’s rural township structure. For researchers, the inclusion of the Moore Cemetery and numerous family-named drains like the Meharg Drain and Gleason Drain provides essential reference points for tracing early land divisions and community development within this fertile pocket of the Thumb region.
