About this map

Goetzville and the coastal settlement of Raber anchor this inland and maritime landscape near the international border along the Saint Marys River. The area is characterized by its numerous small water bodies, including Carlton Lake, Ziegler Lake, and Bender Lake, which are connected by a network of drainage ways like Caribou Cr and Albany Cr. The topography transitions from the low-lying shoreline of Raber Bay to the rising terrain further inland, where a grid of rural roads and section lines defines the local geography.

Local history researchers will find several dedicated burial grounds throughout the townships, including Goetzville Cem, Little Cem, and Anderson Cem to the north. Off the mainland, Lime Island and Round Island sit within the river channel, marking the passage toward Lake Huron. The presence of M-48 and local routes like S Raber Rd illustrate the primary transportation corridors connecting these eastern Upper Peninsula communities.
