About this map

Goodells serves as a central hub in this St. Clair County landscape, situated near the South Branch Pine River and the local Fairground. The map documents a predominantly rural township structure defined by the townships of Kenockee, Wales, and Columbus. This era is characterized by the convergence of agricultural drainage networks, such as Smiths Creek and Indian Creek, with the expanding regional infrastructure represented by the interstate corridor and the Grand Trunk Western railroad line.

Genealogical and local history details are well-preserved, showing several rural parishes and cemeteries including Our Lady of Mt Carmel Cem and the Mt Pleasant Ch Cem. To the south, the Maryglade Seminary sits near the banks of the Belle River, while scattered Oil Wells and gravel pits suggest the diverse local economy during the late twentieth century. Smaller hamlets like Lambs and Wales Center mark historical crossroads that have maintained their identity through the 1980s.
