1990 Map of Goodlett

About this map

The boundary intersection of Childress, Hardeman, and Cottle counties defines this North Texas landscape. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of South Groesbeck Creek and the notable rise of Hepsidam Hill to the south. Small rural communities like Goodlett and Wheatland serve as the primary anchors of settlement, while smaller locales like Punkin Center and Lazare dot the outskirts. The map illustrates a transitional period in the late 20th century where traditional agricultural land patterns persist alongside established infrastructure, including a prominent Roadside Park and several cemeteries that provide vital clues for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of Spring Canyon further emphasize the seasonal water flow typical of this region's prairie environment.
