About this map

The village of Elkton serves as the central hub for this Huron County landscape, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor intersects with a dense grid of rural roads. The surrounding countryside is defined by an extensive network of managed waterways, including the Bechler Drain, Campbell Drain, and Kilmanagh Drain, which support the agricultural economy of the Thumb region.

Social and civic life is anchored by landmarks such as the Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port High Sch, the Elkton Ch, and Riverside Cem. In the southern reaches of the map, the meandering paths of the Pinnebog River and Pigeon River offer a natural contrast to the geometric section lines. Noteworthy local infrastructure includes a Water Tank, a Gaging Station on the Pigeon River, and the Steinman Landing Field, providing a clear record of 1970s rural development and transportation patterns.
