1983 Map of Goodnight

About this map

Goodnight sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned where the high plains begin their descent into the broken drainages of the Texas Panhandle. Published from 1980 field data, the map reveals a region defined by its water sources, with the Salt Fork Red River cutting through the northeast corner while various seasonal creeks like Mc Cullum Creek and Patching Creek carve through the terrain. A small Cem stands near the settlement, serving as a quiet record of early ranching families. The network of drainage patterns, including West Fork Deer Creek and the lone Spring in the south, highlights the essential role of hydrology in supporting the scattered homesteads and cattle operations of Armstrong County.
