2018 Map of Goodrich East

About this map

Goodrich sits at the northwestern edge of this prairie landscape, where the town grid transitions into a vast expanse of wetland basins and small lakes. The geography is defined by the high density of these closed-basin depressions, typical of the Missouri Coteau region, which create a complex mosaic of water and land across Sheridan Co and Wells Co. The map documents a meticulously surveyed section-line road network, including Main St E and 5th St NE, which guides the traveler through a terrain where the prairie pothole ecosystem remains a dominant physical force. This 2018 survey reveals how modern infrastructure, such as Frank St, navigates around these natural water features, illustrating the enduring relationship between the small agricultural community and its glaciated environment.
