2019 Map of Marlette

About this map

The city of Marlette serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in Michigan's Thumb region, situated where the borders of Sanilac, Tuscola, and Lapeer counties meet. This survey shows the intricate network of water management features essential to the local drainage system, including the Pattie Vail Drain, Donald Drain, and Governor Drain, which flow toward the S Br Cass River. These engineered waterways reflect the transformation of the terrain for productive farming during the twentieth century. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped across the countryside, such as Saint Elizabeth Cem, Hager Cem, and Siple Cem. The presence of the Marlette Airport and the grid of section roads like Frenchline Rd and Montgomery Rd illustrate the modern transportation framework supporting this rural community and its surrounding townships.
