2014 Map of New Greenleaf

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Michigan's Thumb is defined here by the convergence of Huron, Sanilac, and Tuscola counties. The settlement of Ivanhoe sits near the upper reaches of the Pigeon River, while the namesake community of New Greenleaf is positioned further south along S Van Dyke Rd. This area serves as a significant drainage divide for the region, where waters flow toward both the Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron. The northern section is drained by the Sandy Drain and Pigeon River, while the southern half marks the headwaters of the Cass River system, including the North Branch Cass River and the South Fork Cass River. For those tracing local history or family lineage, the presence of the McTaggart Cem and the Saint Columbkille Roman Catholic Cem provides concrete anchors for the early rural parishes that shaped these townships.
