2019 Map of Godley

About this map

The town of Godley serves as the focal point for this landscape, situated at the crossroads of FM 917 and FM 2331 near the upper reaches of the Nolan River. The topography is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of W Nolan Cr and the W Fork Nolan River, which carve through the terrain and feed local impoundments like Lake Charca and Ellaine Grande Ranch Lake. The map reveals a distinct aviation subculture within this part of Johnson County, featuring multiple private landing strips including the Aresti Aerodrome, Hawkins Private Airport, and Coppenger Farm Airport. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites at the Godley Cem, Unity Cem, and the uniquely named Lone Cottonwood Cem located near the southern boundary. This map captures a transition point where traditional ranching and rural homesteads intersect with modern private infrastructure and residential expansion.
