2019 Map of Smiths Creek

About this map

Marysville and the surrounding Saint Clair County landscape are defined by an intricate network of managed water drainage and small rural settlements. The area's transition from agricultural plots to modern infrastructure is evident in the proximity of the St Clair County International Airport to long-standing family and community landmarks. Numerous smaller communities such as Smiths Creek, Kimball, and Wadhams anchor the interior, while the Pine River and its various tributaries, including the S Br Pine River and Spine River, weave through the terrain. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cem and several smaller sites like Caswell Cem, Moore Cem, and Bartlett Cem. The map reveals a land heavily shaped by drainage engineering, with labels like Drain Number Two Hundred Two and Hickory Street Drain illustrating the historical effort to manage this low-lying region.
