It lies 11.4 km east of Chatham-Kent, ON (from Chatham-Kent, ON: bearing 80°T), and is situated 9.0 km west of Ridgetown.

The character of McKay's Corners is one of quiet persistence, a place where the days unfold with a steady, predictable cadence, marked by the changing seasons and the enduring presence of agricultural life. The very texture of the land, a rich, dark loam, speaks of generations who have coaxed sustenance from its depths, and the distant hum of machinery is a familiar, almost comforting sound that drifts across the open fields. The history of McKay's Corners is inextricably linked to the agricultural enterprise that has long defined its economy, with fields of corn and soybeans stretching towards the horizon, a testament to the bounty of this region. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of productive land, carved out a life here, establishing the foundations of the small, close-knit community that endures today. While no major rivers or coastlines grace its immediate vicinity, the network of drainage ditches and the occasional slow-moving creek serve as watery veins, reflecting the sky and sustaining the crops. The local economy, while primarily agricultural, also sees a steady flow of goods and services through its modest commercial centre, where the general store and a few service businesses cater to the needs of residents and passing travellers alike. The enduring spirit of McKay's Corners is one of resilience, a quiet pride in its heritage and the simple, honest work that has sustained it for so long.
