About this map

Ivanhoe and New Greenleaf anchor this rural landscape in the Thumb region of Michigan, where the headwaters of several significant drainage systems converge. The terrain is defined by its agricultural layout, intersected by a dense grid of section roads like S Van Dyke Rd and Huron Line Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific landmarks such as McTaggart Cem near Rescue Rd and the Saint Columbkille Roman Catholic Cem situated along the northern reaches of the Pigeon River.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the intricate network of natural and engineered waterways. The North Branch Cass River and South Fork Cass River dominate the southern portion of the quadrangle, while smaller tributaries like Greenleaf Cr and Sanilac Huron Cr drain the central fields. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region as it transitions across the county lines of Huron, Sanilac, and Tuscola.
