2023 Map of New Greenleaf

About this map

The small rural communities of Ivanhoe and New Greenleaf anchor a landscape defined by an intricate network of agricultural water management. Situated at the junction of Huron, Sanilac, and Tuscola counties, the area is crisscrossed by dozens of engineered channels like Livingston Drain, Skinner Drain, and McNeil Drain. These drains supplement the natural flow of the Pigeon River and the upper reaches of the North Branch Cass River. Local history is centered around quiet crossroads, marked by features such as the Saint Columbkille Roman Catholic Cem and McTaggart Cem. The map reveals a highly structured township-and-range grid system, where long-established family farms are bordered by roads like Ivanhoe Rd and Hadley Rd, demonstrating the enduring agricultural character of this Michigan Thumb region.
