About this map

The Lake Huron shoreline along the boundary of Huron and Sanilac Counties defines this landscape, where small lakeside settlements and drainage creeks meet the vast water. The village of Forestville sits at the intersection of Cedar Ave and S Lakeshore Rd, supported by a local history evident in the Forestville Cem and Saint Johns Cem. Northward, the settlement of White Rock lies near the mouth of White Rock Cr, while The Flats provides a rare level opening in the coastal terrain.

A network of local roads such as Priemer Rd and Big Gulley Rd connects the farmsteads and rural residences that dot the lakefront. Numerous small waterways, including White River, Wanke Cr, and Mill Cr, cut through the land toward the lake. Just offshore, the presence of Wankes Reef points to the underwater geography that has long influenced maritime activity in this section of Michigan's Thumb region.
