2017 Map of Elkton

About this map

The village of Elkton serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Huron County, where the grid-based road network of Oliver Township meets the meandering course of the Pinnebog River. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of small-town life and the surrounding farm economy, centered on the junction of Main St and Pigeon Rd. Along the southern edges of the village, Riverside Cem provides a genealogical touchpoint for local families, while further south, Grant Cem marks a more isolated burial ground near Kilmanagh Rd. The terrain is characterized by the drainages of the Pinnebog River to the east and the Pigeon River to the west, defining the hydrology of the thumb region. This map effectively documents the contemporary layout of local thoroughfares like Berne Rd and Geiger Rd that connect the scattered homesteads of the Michigan countryside.
