2012 Map of Goodnight

About this map

Goodnight sits at the heart of this Panhandle landscape, where the legacy of early Texas ranching is written into the names of the land. The town, historically significant as the home of cattleman Charles Goodnight, is anchored by local landmarks like the Goodnight Cem and is surrounded by an extensive network of family-held properties including the McMurtry Ranch, Bugbee Ranch, and Blankenship Ranch. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainages of the Salt Fork Red River, with numerous seasonal watercourses such as Patching Cr and Cottonwood Cr carving through the plains. The road network, including Ranch Road 294 and the intersecting Kilo Rd, reflects the grid-based development of the region's agricultural and ranching economy in the early twenty-first century.
