2013 Map of Goforth

About this map

The crossroads of Goforth sits at the heart of this Pendleton County landscape, where the dendritic drainage patterns of the S Fork Licking River system shape the local geography. Small rural settlements like Portland, Pleasant Ridge, and Locust Grove are connected by a network of ridge-top roads and creek-bed lanes, reflecting a long history of agricultural land use. The presence of several family and community burial grounds, including McMillan Cem, Johns Cem, and the Turner Ridge Cem near the Gene Snyder Airport, provides valuable reference points for genealogical research. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of S Fork Grassy Cr and Brushy Fork, which have carved deep into the limestone-rich plateau. In the southwest corner, the community of Doughton marks another local hub near the headwaters of Little Fork Lick Cr.
