2023 Map of Carsonville

About this map

Carsonville serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Sanilac County, where the village grid meets the waters of the Black River. The surrounding territory is characterized by a dense network of managed drainage systems, including the Carsonville-Drain, McDonald Drain, and Alexander Drain, which support the fertile farmland of the Michigan Thumb. Local genealogy is well-documented through several historic burial grounds such as Saint Marys Cem, Washington Township Cem, and Tucker Cem. The landscape is further defined by its natural watercourses like Elk Creek and Forester Creek, which cut through the township sections toward Lake Huron. This 2023 edition preserves the established road network, showing the importance of transit corridors like E Sanilac Rd and Ruth Rd in connecting the rural community of McGregor to the larger township centers.
