2011 Map of Richmondville

About this map

Lake Huron dominates the eastern expanse of this Sanilac County coastline, where the small lakeside communities of Richmondville and Forester are situated. The landscape is defined by several drainage systems that flow eastward toward the lake, including Elk Creek, Big Gully Creek, Indian Creek, and Cherry Creek. This topographic survey shows a sparse, rural settlement pattern characteristic of the Michigan Thumb, with a grid of local roads like State Rd and Ridge Rd providing access to the interior. For those researching local families, the Forester Township Cemetery is a prominent landmark located near the southern boundary, reflecting the established history of the township. The map details the transition from the upland agricultural areas down to the narrow shoreline, illustrating the intersection of natural waterways and local infrastructure.
