2023 Map of Mayville

About this map

The village of Mayville serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Tuscola and Lapeer counties, surrounded by a complex system of drainage and small glacial lakes. The layout of the region is defined by a dense network of county roads such as Mayville Rd and Fostoria Rd, connecting smaller settlements like Silverwood on the eastern edge and Fostoria in the southwest. For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including the West Dayton Cem, Dayton Center Cem, Fremont Cem, Rich Cem, and Watertown Cem. Hydrology dominates the terrain, where agricultural drains like Voght Drain and Bremont Drain supplement natural features such as Phelps Lake and the winding Evergreen Creek. This network of man-made and natural watercourses illustrates the ongoing efforts to manage the low-lying wetlands for cultivation.
