2022 Map of Goodland

About this map

Goodland serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, organized around its central Sherman County Courthouse and a dense grid of residential streets. The town's layout reflects a classic western agricultural center, where the built environment abruptly transitions into the vast section-line road network that defines the surrounding prairie. Educational and logistical importance is highlighted by the presence of Northwest Kansas Technical College and the sprawling runways of Renner Field / Goodland Municipal Airport just to the northeast. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is marked by the subtle drainage patterns of the Middle Fork Sappa Creek and the South Fork Sappa Creek. These watercourses provided essential geography for early settlers, as evidenced by established burial grounds like Goodland Cemetery, Frerichs Cemetery, and Whistler Cemetery scattered across the township lines.
