About this map

Goodwin anchors the southern portion of this 1970 field-checked survey, serving as a focal point for the surrounding prairie landscape in Deuel County. The region is defined by a series of significant water bodies, including Round Lake, Bullhead Lake, and Wigdale Lake, which provide a natural structure to the township divisions of Troy and Rome. An Old Railroad Grade cuts across the lower terrain, offering a clear trace of the area's former transportation network and rail-based economy.

Conservation efforts are prominent across the map, with several dedicated parcels including the Round Lake State Wildlife Management Area and the Rome State Wildlife Management Area. For those researching local heritage, the Goodwin Cemetery and several Gravel Pits suggest the community's early infrastructure and land use, while School Lake stands as a named landmark among the numerous smaller wetlands and marshes that dot the glacial topography.
