About this map

The Lake Huron shoreline in Sanilac County is defined here by a series of youth camps and roadside parks overlooking the water. Inland, the landscape transitions to a grid of agricultural land and early transport routes, including the Chesapeake and Ohio Road which serves the community of Croswell. This area preserves several localized burial grounds and schoolhouses, such as Huckins Cem and the Ridge Sch, indicating the historical footprint of early rural settlement patterns in Lexington and Worth townships.

Industrial activity is noted through scattered Gravel Pits and Sandpits, while the municipal infrastructure of Croswell includes a Fairground and Sewage Disposal facility. The presence of Camp Cavell, Camp Playfair, and Camp Stapleton along the coast highlights the region's mid-century role as a recreational destination for lakefront camping and outdoor activities. The map also traces the winding course of Mill Creek as it approaches the Black River corridor.
