1968 Map of Goodells

About this map

The Grand Trunk Western railroad cuts across this rural St. Clair County landscape, serving the settlement of Goodells and connecting the region's agricultural fields to wider markets. The area is defined by a complex network of man-made and natural waterways, including the South Branch Pine River, Smiths Creek, and numerous drainage systems like the Johnson Drain and Apply Drain that manage the low-lying terrain. Local life in the late 1960s centered on crossroads like Wales Center and spiritual hubs such as Mt Pleasant Ch and St Philip Ch. In the southern portion, the Belle River meanders toward the Columbus area, while the northwest corner is anchored by the Kenockee Cem. This survey also shows the transition of land use, from the managed forests of the Port Huron State Game Area to active extraction sites like the Gravel Pits and a scattered Gas Well.
