2019 Map of Brown City

About this map

Brown City serves as the primary municipal hub in this landscape along the border of Lapeer and Sanilac counties. The area is characterized by an extensive system of engineered waterways, including the Setter Drain, Elk Flynn and Maple Valley Drain, and Lapeer and Sanilac Drain, which managed the drainage across this agricultural territory. To the southeast, the small settlement of Valley Center is situated near the Valley Center Cem and the E Br Speaker and Maple Valley Drain. Local history is anchored by several sites of interment, such as Sacred Heart Cem and Evergreen Cem near the main town site. The map captures a well-defined grid of local thoroughfares like Stiles Rd and Galbraith Line Rd that delineate the rural sections of these Michigan townships.
