About this map

Sebewaing and Unionville anchor this coastal segment of the Michigan thumb where the land meets Saginaw Bay on Lake Huron. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of managed waterways, including the Sebewaing River, Swamp Cr., and the Wiscoggin Drain, reflecting the region's long-standing focus on agricultural drainage and water management. Transportation is centered on the Sebewaing Airport and a grid of rural roads such as W Bay City-Forestville Rd and Huron Line Rd, which marks the boundary between Huron and Tuscola counties.

Local history is preserved in a concentration of religious and community landmarks, particularly through its numerous cemeteries. Sites like Saint Johns Lutheran Cem, New Salem Cem, and Saint Peters Cem suggest the ancestral roots of the German and Moravian settlers who established these communities. The map provides a precise view of these rural townships before the continued modernization of the 21st century, making it a valuable resource for tracing property lines and family heritage sites near the lakeshore.
