2020 Map of Goshen

About this map

The boundary between Washington and Madison counties divides a landscape defined by the winding course of Richland Creek and its many tributaries. In the northwest, the settlement of Goshen sits near the base of Gilliam Mtn, while further south, the small communities of Tuttle and Mount Olive anchor the rural landscape. The map reveals a dense network of country roads, including the aptly named Fire Tower Rd and Ball Rd, which navigate the terrain between heights like Benson Mtn and Trammel Mt. Genealogists will find a high concentration of family and local burial sites, from the centrally located Culwell Cem to the outlying Boatrigth Cem and Johnson Cem near the Buckeye community. This document captures the modern state of these Ozark foothills, where small settlements like Wesley and Cross Roads still serve as local landmarks amidst a complex drainage system of creeks such as Sinking Cr and Thorney Br.
