2017 Map of Goshen

About this map

Richland Creek and its many tributaries, including Thorney Br and Tuttle Br, carve through the uplands of the Washington and Madison county line. This 2017 survey documents a landscape defined by small rural settlements and an extensive network of family and community burial grounds. From Goshen in the northwest to Wesley in the south, the map reveals the spatial relationship between historic upland communities and the local topography. Notable landmarks such as Benson Mtn and Gilliam Mtn overlook the valleys where genealogists can locate several small cemeteries, including Boatrigth Cem, Culwell Cem, and Smith Cem. The distribution of these sites, alongside place names like Cross Roads and Mount Olive, provides a clear view of the area's settlement patterns and the enduring footprint of its rural heritage.
