About this map

Mayville serves as the primary hub in this portion of the Michigan Thumb, where a dense network of local roads like W Main St and Fulton St supports a community surrounded by agricultural drainage systems. The landscape is defined by an intricate hydrology, featuring numerous named waterways such as Voght Drain, Cox Drain, and Evergreen Cr. These artificial and natural channels facilitate farming across the flat terrain, connecting larger bodies of water like Squaw Lake and Phelps Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial grounds, including Fremont Cem, Rich Cem, and Watertown Cem, which anchor the various townships. The eastern edge transition into the village of Silverwood at the border of Tuscola and Lapeer counties highlights the area's history as a collection of small, interconnected settlements. Modern landmarks like Saint Agatha Cem and the complex system of county drains provide a clear picture of how land management and community infrastructure have evolved together.
