2014 Map of Carsonville

About this map

Carsonville serves as the central hub of this Sanilac County landscape, situated at the junction of E Sanilac Rd and Old 51. The surrounding area is defined by a dense network of agricultural drainage and small waterways, including the Black River and Elk Creek, which feed into the larger regional watershed. The map reveals a high concentration of historical burial sites that offer significant value for genealogical research, such as Washington Township Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Lee Cem. To the northwest, the small settlement of McGregor marks the intersection of N Ruth Rd and Forester Rd. The terrain is characterized by its organized section lines and numerous named drains like Shrapnell Drain and Carsonville Drain, illustrating a long history of land management and rural development in this part of Michigan's Thumb region.
