About this map

Elkton serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Michigan's Thumb region, situated along the crossroads of S Main St and Myrtle Dr. The village is well-defined by its civic infrastructure, including the Elkton Post Office and the nearby Century Oaks Golf Course. The surrounding Oliver Township terrain is marked by a precise grid of rural roads named for local families, such as Krohn Rd and Hartsell Rd, reflecting the area's deep-rooted farming heritage.

Waterways like the meandering Pinnebog River and the Pigeon River cut through the geometric section lines, providing natural drainage for the fertile fields. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies key burial sites including Riverside Cemetery near the river banks and Grant Cemetery further south on S Elkton Rd. This 2011 survey documents the persistent rural character and established land divisions of Huron County during the early 21st century.
