2017 Map of Smiths Creek

About this map

Thornton and Wadhams anchor the northern reaches of this Saint Clair County landscape, where the Black River flows near the eastern edge. The area is defined by an extensive network of drainage systems, including the Nelson Drain, Mallory Drain, and Holland Drain, reflecting the complex water management required for this part of Michigan. For those researching family history, numerous burial grounds are situated throughout the township, such as Caswell Cem and Bartlett Cem. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the community of Smiths Creek, located along the waterway of the same name. Industrial and transportation infrastructure is prominent toward the east, where the St Clair County International Airport sits adjacent to the developing outskirts of Marysville.
