About this map

The agricultural landscape of Huron County is defined here by the headwaters and branches of Willow Creek, which weave through a strict grid of section roads and farmsteads. The crossroads of Redman and Lewisville anchor the central part of the township, representing the quiet rural centers that have served the surrounding farming community for generations. To the northeast, the corner of Lake Huron provides a coastal boundary, where the terrain begins its gradual descent toward the shoreline.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific family-named landmarks such as the Marquardt Cemetery, located along Moeller Rd. The map details the drainage patterns that shaped the local economy, from the New River in the northwest to the intricate systems of Diamond Creek and Kline Creek in the south. This network of small waterways and the orderly layout of roads like Huron City Rd and Parisville Rd illustrate the long-standing land-use patterns of the Michigan Thumb.
