About this map

The agricultural landscape of Sanilac County is anchored by the community of Marlette, shown here as a structured hub of local services and transport. Centered on the intersection of Marlette St and Lamotte St, the settlement provides essential regional infrastructure including the Marlette Post Office and the Marlette Airport to the south. The surrounding countryside is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, such as Frenchline Rd and Mayville Rd, which connect far-flung rural properties and family landmarks.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the township, from the centrally located Marlette Cemetery and Saint Elizabeth Cemetery to more remote locations like McLeish Cemetery in the north and Kerr Cemetery near the South Branch Cass River. These sites, along with the Hager Community Hall, illustrate the enduring community network of this Michigan thumb-region farming district.
