1982 Map of Goodhope

About this map

Goodhope and its surrounding countryside are defined by a network of hollows and ridges in the early 1980s. The landscape is dotted with ancestral burial grounds, including Lakey Cem, Arden Cem, and Stillings Cem, providing vital clues for genealogists tracking Ozark families. Waterways such as Beaver Creek and Honey Creek carve through the terrain, while landmarks like Keyger Mountain anchor the western boundary. Local religious life is centered around several country churches, notably Breeden Ch and Union Ch. Down in the southern valleys, Jackson Mill and the nearby Gravel Pits suggest a history of small-scale industry along the creeks. The map shows a region of scattered farmsteads and rural crossroads, where names like Arden and Roy mark tiny centers of activity amidst the intricate drainage patterns of Eslick Hollow and Sixteenth Hollow.
