1960 Map of Goodman

About this map

Goodman and its rural environs in Coffee County are defined by a network of small family-owned farms and country churches during the mid-century. The landscape is carved by the winding paths of Double Bridges Creek and its tributaries, including Whisky Branch and Little Double Bridges Creek. These waterways dictate the settlement patterns, with rural hubs like Turner Crossroads and Battens Crossroads serving as navigational anchors for the local community. The mapping reveals a transition toward modern infrastructure, evidenced by the Enterprise Municipal Airport and a nearby Drive-in Theater, juxtaposed against older landmarks like Wooten Chapel and Bethany Ch. For genealogists, the numerous cemeteries and churches, such as Meadow Lawn Memorial Park and Morning Star Ch, offer precise locations for family history research. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad skirts the northeastern corner, indicating the vital rail links that connected this agricultural region to larger trade centers.
