About this map

The agricultural landscape of Fremont and Buel townships is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads and a dense network of man-made and natural watercourses. In the early 1960s, this region of Sanilac County was characterized by its distributed network of rural education and community centers, including Thorley Sch, Burns Sch, and Roseburg Sch. The settlement of Roseburg serves as a local hub, situated near the headwaters of Black Creek.

Transitioning into St. Clair County to the south, the map details the northern reaches of Greenwood and Grant townships. Notable landmarks include the Greenwood Ch and the Port Huron State Game Area along the eastern edge. Local infrastructure is revealed through features like the Landing Strip near the county line and various Gravel Pits, illustrating the local extraction economy and early aviation footprint in this rural Michigan corridor.
