About this map

Sandusky serves as the central hub for this portion of Sanilac County, exhibiting a grid-based urban layout surrounded by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure. This engineered landscape, featuring channels like Custer County Drain, Badgero Drain, and Beals Frizzle Drain, reveals the transformation of Michigan's Thumb region into productive agricultural land. The intricate web of named drains flowing toward the Black River in the east illustrates the complex water management required to support the local economy.

Transportation and community markers are prominent, from the Sandusky City Airport north of town to Cowley Field at the southern edge. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds including Saint Joseph's Cem and Greenwood Cem along South Sandusky Road. The map also detail the systematic township and range divisions, such as t12n r14e, which define the rectangular road patterns of the surrounding countryside.
