2017 Map of East Dayton

About this map

East Dayton serves as the primary focal point of this Tuscola County landscape, situated at the intersection of Sanilac Road and Hurds Corner Road. The surrounding terrain is defined by a complex drainage system including Sucker Creek and Butternut Creek, which flow through a patchwork of agricultural plots and woodlots. Further south, the geography shifts toward more concentrated water bodies such as Harmon Lake and Cat Lake, alongside the engineered Phelps Lake Drain. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies significant burial sites including the East Dayton Cemetery and North Wells Cemetery. The grid of rural roads, such as Mushroom Road and Boy Scout Road, illustrates the persistent township and range land division that has shaped this part of Michigan's Thumb region for generations.
