1964 Map of Goetzville

About this map

Lake Superior State Forest dominates the interior of this Eastern Upper Peninsula landscape, where the Gogomain River winds through vast wetlands toward Raber Bay. The area's mid-century character is defined by small, inland settlements like Goetzville and Raber, connected by an Old Railroad Grade that once served the region's timber or maritime interests. Along the international border in the Saint Marys River, Lime Island sits with noted Ruins, signaling the area's long-standing strategic and industrial importance along the shipping lanes between Lake Superior and Lake Huron.
