The historic core of the village is located on both sides of a bend on the Huron River at the point where Pettibone Creek flows into the Huron. Both river and creek furnished waterpower to early settlers. The land surrounding the Village was primarily farmland that is now large residential lots and subdivisions, with one-third of the township outside the village being parkland or the General Motors Proving Ground.
