About this map

The shores of Lake Huron define this coastal portion of Sanilac County, where the lakeside community of Lexington and the inland town of Croswell serve as primary hubs. The landscape between these settlements is marked by an exceptionally high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Old Ridge Cemetery, Hoppenworth Cemetery, and the Saint Denis Cemetery. This concentration of sites, such as the Long Cemetery and Wixson Cemetery, reflects a deeply rooted pattern of early rural settlement and family landholdings in the Thumb region.

Waterways like Mill Creek and the Black River cut through the terrain, the latter flowing directly through Croswell near Harrington Bridge. Along the coast, the Lexington State Harbor and several lakeside camps, including Camp Playfair and Blue Water Camp, underscore the area's transition from an agricultural and timber-based economy to one centered on Great Lakes recreation and maritime activity.
