2023 Map of Marlette

About this map

Marlette stands as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, where the intersections of Church St, Main St, and Morris St define the village core. The surrounding countryside in Sanilac, Tuscola, and Lapeer counties is marked by an extensive network of managed waterways, including Duff Creek and the South Branch Cass River. These natural and engineered channels, such as the White and Moffatt Drain and Pattie Vail Drain, illustrate the intensive drainage required for the region's productive farmland. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships, from the Saint Elizabeth Cem Marlette Cem near the town center to the outlying Siple Cem, McLeish Cem, and Hager Cem. The Marlette Township Airport and significant land parcels under the Farm Service Agency Interest of Michigan further underscore the area's modern role in Michigan's agrarian economy.
