About this map

Goodland anchors the southern edge of this High Plains landscape, where the town's northern periphery meets a sprawling network of agricultural sections. The terrain is defined by the branching drainage system of the Beaver Creek tributaries, which carve subtle relief into the Sherman County plateau. These seasonal watercourses, including Middle Beaver Cr, S Beaver Cr, and the main stem of Beaver Cr, dictate the placement of local infrastructure and land divisions.

Two rural burial grounds, Harmony Cem and Goodland Cem, serve as important landmarks for genealogical research, situated amidst the grid of county roads such as Commerce Rd. This survey illustrates the modern intersection of traditional township and range divisions, such as t7s r39w, with a contemporary transportation network that maintains the late 19th-century land-use patterns established during the region's early settlement.
