About this map

The agricultural heart of Sanilac County is defined by a complex network of engineered waterways and small rural settlements in this 2014 survey. The village of Peck serves as a primary anchor in the south, while the community of Watertown and the locality of Cash mark the landscape further north. The terrain is characterized by an extensive system of drains designed to manage the fertile Michigan thumb region, including the Watertown State Drain, Eggert Drain, and the combined Elk Flynn and Maple Valley Drain.

Genealogists will find interest in the Zion Cem located near E Applegate Rd, alongside numerous family-named drainage features like Lynch Drain and McElhinney Drain. The grid-like road system, featuring routes such as W Marlette Rd and S Sandusky Rd, illustrates the late-20th-century development of this farming community, where the headwaters of Elk Cr weave between section lines and established farmsteads.
