About this map

Lake Huron defines the eastern edge of this Michigan landscape, where the shoreline transition at Lexington meets the agricultural interior. The area is marked by a dense concentration of historical burial grounds, ranging from the Lexington Village Cem and Lexington Memorial Cem near the coast to rural plots like Old Ridge Cem, Ridge Cem, and Wixson Cem further inland. These sites, along with the Huckins Cem and Long Cem, offer significant points of interest for genealogists tracing early Sanilac County families.

The western portion of the map is anchored by Croswell, where the Black River flows past the Croswell City Cem and the Harrington Bridge. The land between the river and the Great Lake is a grid of section roads like Wixson Rd and Wild Cat Rd, interrupted by local aviation at Flugplatz Airport and athletic grounds at Arnold Field. Drainage systems such as Freeman Drain and Pine Hill Stream carve through the terrain, illustrating the managed water network essential to this lakeside farming community.
