About this map

Goetzville and the coastal settlement of Raber sit at the intersection of land and water in this corner of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the transition from the forested interior to the Saint Marys River and Lake Huron, where Raber Bay provides a sheltered harbor. The maritime heritage of the region is anchored by the Round Island Light, a landmark for vessels navigating these busy northern waters.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Anderson Cemetery near the northern border and the Little Cemetery further south. The map documents the local infrastructure of the early 2010s, from the Goetzville Post Office to the Goetzville Lookout Tower. Recreational sites like Karen's Cabins and Campgrounds and the Lime Island State Forest Campground highlight the area's modern identity as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts exploring Lime Island and the surrounding islands.
