2012 Map of Goff

About this map

Goff anchors this portion of Nemaha County, serving as the primary hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape of northeast Kansas. The town's grid is centered around the Po and major thoroughfares such as 6th St and 5th St, reflecting its role in the local rural economy. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Spring Cr, Tennessee Cr, and Barnes Cr, which carve through the plains. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of rural burial grounds, including Saint Bedes Cem in the northwest, Fairview Cem near the town center, and Barnes Cem to the east. These sites, often located near family-named landmarks like Kelly Spiker or Log Chain, provide a clear record of the settlement patterns and long-standing family ties that have shaped this prairie community over the generations.
