2010 Map of Goodwin

About this map

Goodwin anchors this section of Ellis County, Oklahoma, positioned within a landscape defined by a regular grid of section roads and several drainage systems. The area is characterized by its agricultural layout, punctuated by the winding paths of Rock Creek and Long Creek. Local history and genealogy are anchored by two distinct burial sites: the Christ Lutheran Cemetery in the northern portion of the quadrangle and Emmons Cemetery to the southwest near Coon Creek. The presence of Oil Field Rd in the northeast indicates the local intersection of ranching or farming with energy extraction. This survey illustrates how the high plains topography is managed through a strict rectangular survey system, even as West Red Bluff Creek and Hog Creek create natural breaks in the geometric pattern of roads like N 1720 Rd and E 0560 Rd.
