1970 Map of Goodwin

About this map

Goodwin sits at the southern edge of this landscape, a small settlement defined by its grid and proximity to the Goodwin Cem and a nearby Radio Tower. The geography is dominated by a chain of glacial depressions, including the prominent Round Lake, Bullhead Lake, and Wigdale Lake. These water bodies are surrounded by designated conservation lands such as the Round Lake State Wildlife Management Area and the Rome State Wildlife Management Area, reflecting a regional focus on habitat preservation. An Old Railroad Grade cuts through the township of Goodwin, tracing a vanished transportation corridor that once linked these prairie communities. Small details like the Roadside Park and various Gravel Pits suggest the local infrastructure of the early 1970s, while the drainage of Willow Creek connects the scattered prairie potholes and marshes.
