2019 Map of Goodells

About this map

The S Br Pine River and Belle River carve through this section of St. Clair County, defining a landscape marked by small agricultural settlements and a dense network of named drainage systems. This 2019 survey documents the rural character of communities like Goodells, Wales Center, Lambs, and Columbus. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several distinct burial grounds, including the Goodells Poor Farm Cem and Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cem. The drainage infrastructure is notably intricate, with features such as the Riley-Wales Drain, Neaton Drain, and Wonderlic Drain illustrating the long-standing efforts to manage the water table for the region's farmland. This map provides a contemporary record of the property boundaries and road networks that have shaped this Michigan countryside for generations.
