About this map

Watertown and the village of Peck anchor this survey of Sanilac County's agricultural landscape, where a sophisticated network of artificial waterways defines the terrain. The presence of numerous named channels, such as the Watertown State Drain, Rickett Drain, and McElhinney Drain, indicates the critical role of systematic drainage in reclaiming and maintaining the fertile soils of the Thumb region for large-scale farming.

Infrastructure is organized around a strict grid of section roads, including W Marlette Rd and S Sandusky Rd, which connect the small community of Cash to larger regional hubs. Genealogists will find the Zion Cem located north of Watertown, providing a specific point of interest for family history research. The natural path of Elk Cr winds through the central and eastern portions of the map, serving as the primary drainage outlet for the intricate system of engineered canals that crisscross the township.
