About this map

Lake Huron defines the eastern edge of this Michigan coastline, where established resort communities like Lexington Heights, Huronia Heights, and Blue Water Beach cluster along the shore. Moving inland, the landscape transitions into a grid of rural agricultural lands and woodlots across Worth and Burtchville townships. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts a straight north-south line through the territory, passing near the small settlements of Amadore and Jeddo.

Resource extraction and conservation are both evident, with numerous Gravel Pits scattered near the Black River and the extensive Port Huron State Game Area occupying the southwestern corner. Local heritage is preserved through markers such as Cook School, Bethel Church, and several burial grounds including St Lawrence Cemetery and Lakeview Cemetery. The map also captures several "Line Roads" that reflect the structured surveying of the Thumb region, such as Mortimer Line Road and Galbraith Line Road.
