2017 Map of Ruth

About this map

Ruth and Charleston anchor this agricultural landscape in the Thumb region of Michigan, where a grid of section-line roads defines the local geography. The map reveals a high density of rural religious and commemorative sites, including Saints Peter and Paul Cem, Immanuel Cem, and West Delaware Cem, indicating the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the local townships. The terrain is carved by a network of small waterways such as the White River, Slate Stone Cr, and White Rock Cr, which wind through the township blocks toward Lake Huron. The Huron Co Sanilac Co line divides the southern portion of the sheet, while family-named roads like Conquergood Rd and Eppenbrock Rd provide valuable links for genealogists tracing local land ownership and ancestral homesteads in this 2017 topographic study.
