2017 Map of Brockway

About this map

Agricultural lands and complex drainage systems define this part of Saint Clair County, anchored by the settlements of Yale and Brockway. The terrain is marked by an extensive network of named waterways, including the Mill Creek and the Pine River, which flow alongside numerous man-made channels like the Quakenbush Drain and Popplewell Drain. These drains reflect the historical engineering required to manage the low-lying geography for farming. Transport routes like Imlay City Rd and Old State Hwy 21 provide the primary east-west corridors, while the Yale Airport serves as a small aviation hub for the local area. Genealogists may find interest in the Moore Cem, located centrally between the major roads and watercourses. Farther south, the small community of Emmett sits near the Emmett Drain, illustrating the tight relationship between these settlements and their local watersheds during the mid-2010s.
