Michigan Counties - Sanilac County

Sanilac County is located in the Thumb of Michigan on the west shore
of Lake Huron, two hours drive from Michigan's main metropolitan areas.
The county covers 972 square miles or some 622,000 acres of some of the
richest farmland in the Midwest. Some say the name "Sanilac" means
"without lake" and it's true that Sanilac County hasn't one
natural lake. However, the Black River runs through the entire county
from north to south and 40 miles of Lake Huron shoreline forms the eastern
boundry of the county. This unique region offers many interesting sights.
Native Americans carved a massive stone depicting early hunters, symbols
and animals and it can be seen at the Sanilac County Petrogylphs in
the northern part of the county.
