"While working as a Keweenaw Time Traveler mapping people to their houses in the year 1917, I came across a man named William Hodgson who had no address listed in the city directory. Wanting to find his house, I looked him up the 1920 United States Census. I found a man named William A Hodgson who lived in Houghton in 1920. I wasn’t sure if this was the same person, but I decided to look for his house on the map anyway. When I checked the map, I found a house at the address listed on the census, and right next to it was 'Hodgson Wm' written in pencil! It just goes to show how much information can be found on these maps."
