2017 Map of Goetzville

About this map

Munuscong Lake and the international waters of Raber Bay define this borderland region where the Upper Peninsula of Michigan meets Ontario, Canada. The settlement of Goetzville serves as a focal point for the interior, home to the Goetzville / Saint Stanislaus Cem, while the hamlet of Raber sits further north near the shoreline. The landscape is a mosaic of lowland hydrology and modest family landmarks, characterized by the expansive Gogomain Swamp and numerous smaller water bodies such as Caribou Lake, Ziegler Lake, and Carlton Lake. Surveyed roads like S Raber Rd and E M 48 provide the primary grid through this heavily forested and marshy terrain. Genealogists can identify several burial sites including Anderson Cem and Little Cem, which alongside the named islands of Lime Island and Round Island, offer a clear picture of the area's rural development and geographic isolation at the time of this 2017 survey.
