2019 Map of New Greenleaf

About this map

Ivanhoe and New Greenleaf anchor this rural landscape in Michigan's Thumb region, situated where Huron, Tuscola, and Sanilac counties meet. The area is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage systems and waterways, most notably the Pigeon River and several branches of the Cass River, including the North Branch Cass River and South Fork Cass River. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies significant sites such as the Saint Columbkille Roman Catholic Cem and the McTaggart Cem. The rectilinear road grid, dominated by routes like S Van Dyke Rd and Huron Line Rd, reveals a highly organized land-use pattern typical of Michigan's farming heartland. Small tributaries like Greenleaf Cr and the Patterson Drain crisscross the fields, illustrating the complex hydrology required to manage the low-lying terrain for cultivation.
