2014 Map of Smiths Creek

About this map

Pine River and the Black River define the drainage of this Saint Clair County landscape, which transitions from the industrial outskirts of Marysville to the agricultural lands of Kimball and Smiths Creek. The area is characterized by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including named features such as Scheffle Drain, Burdie Drain, and Hickory Street Drain, which reflect the historical engineering required to manage the low-lying terrain for farming and settlement. Smaller communities like Sparlingville, Wadhams, and Thornton are linked by a grid of rural roads and the crossing of major transit corridors.
