2017 Map of Deckerville

About this map

Deckerville serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Sanilac County, where the village grid is centered around the intersection of Black River St, Main St, and Deckerville Rd. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of drainage and creek systems, including Big Gully Cr, Indian Cr, and the Pyette Drain, which supported the region's long-standing farming tradition. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous smaller burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as the Russell Farm Cem and Wright Cem near the western boundary, or the East Marion Cem to the east. The presence of the Indian Creek Ranch Airport and the Deckerville Reservoir southwest of the village illustrate the 21st-century infrastructure and land management of this Thumb region community.
