About this map

The city of Yale anchors the southern portion of this Saint Clair County landscape, situated where Mill Creek and Jackson Creek converge. The area is defined by a dense grid of agricultural section lines and township roads, with the small settlements of Melvin and Speaker serving as important local hubs in the early 21st century. This survey is particularly notable for its high concentration of documented burial sites, which provide a significant record for genealogists.

Large family and community cemeteries such as Elmwood Cemetery, McFadden Cemetery, and Sacred Heart Cemetery are found throughout the region, alongside more specialized sites like the Immaculate Conception Catholic Cemetery. Further north, the township boundaries are clearly marked by the Elk Township Cemetery and Speaker Township Cemetery. These landmarks, along with the Melvin Post Office and Yale Post Office, illustrate the enduring civic and social structure of this rural Michigan community.
