2019 Map of Carsonville

About this map

The village of Carsonville sits at the heart of this Sanilac County landscape, where the agricultural grid is intersected by the meandering course of the Black River and Elk Creek. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by its drainage network and rural cemeteries, reflecting generations of settlement in the Michigan Thumb. The village layout is concentrated along E Sanilac Rd and S Main St, while the surrounding townships of Washington and Bridgehampton are marked by several historic burial grounds, including Mount Zion Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Washington Township Cem. To the northwest, the small community of McGregor is situated near Forester Rd. The map details an extensive system of waterways, from the Ogden Norton Drain to Sherman Cr and Miller Cr, which have long supported the local farming economy by managing the flat, fertile terrain of the area.
