About this map

Lake Huron defines the eastern edge of this Michigan landscape, where coastal residential developments like Lexington Heights, Huronia Heights, and Blue Water Beach meet the agricultural interior of the Thumb region. Moving inland from the lake, the terrain is shaped by several drainages, including the Black River, Black Creek, and Burtch Creek, which wind through a grid of established section roads such as Fisher Rd and Jeddo Rd.

The small inland settlements of Jeddo and Amadore serve as historical anchors for the surrounding rural communities. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich with small burial grounds, including the Saint Lawrence Cem, Worth Township Cem, and Locke Cem, scattered across the townships. The transition from the developed lakefront to the quiet interior provides a clear view of how water access and drainage systems have influenced local settlement patterns and land use into the early 21st century.
