2011 Map of Smiths Creek

About this map

Smiths Creek and its neighboring hamlets define the landscape of St. Clair County as it was recorded in the early twenty-first century. The area is intersected by the winding Pine River and Black River, which dictate the local topography alongside a dense network of agricultural drains such as Morris Drain and Wolvin Drain. For those tracing local families, the map provides precise locations for numerous small burial grounds, including Caswell Cemetery, Moore Cemetery, and Mallory Cemetery. Transport and infrastructure are prominent, with the Wadhams to Avoca Trl cutting across the northern half and the Saint Clair County International Airport occupying a significant footprint to the east. Small communities like Thornton, West Tappan, and Kimball appear amidst a grid of rural roads and residential clusters such as Sparlingville, showcasing the blend of rural tradition and modern transit corridors including Interstate 69 and the Smiths Creek Post Office.
