About this map

Carsonville serves as the central hub of this eastern Sanilac County landscape, situated amidst a grid of section-line roads that define the region's agricultural character. The village is anchored by the Carsonville Post Office and sits at the intersection of local routes like Sheldon St. North of the village, the village's cultural and commercial footprints are seen at the Hi-Way Drive-In Theater, a distinctive landmark in an area otherwise dominated by small watercourses and family-named landmarks.

The hydrology of the township is defined by the winding course of the Black River and its tributaries, including Elk Creek and Miller Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial sites, showing Mount Zion Cemetery, Tucker Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery across the countryside. To the northwest, the small settlement of McGregor marks the upper reaches of the map's coverage, illustrating the quiet rural network established over generations in the Thumb of Michigan.
