About this map

Goshen lies in a landscape defined by the winding waters of Richland Creek and its many tributaries, reflecting the rural character of Washington and Madison counties. This modern topographic study shows a community deeply rooted in its local geography, where settlements like Wesley, Tuttle, and Buckeye are connected by a network of county roads that navigate between high points like Benson Mtn and Gilliam Mtn.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high density of burial sites across this terrain, from the Goshen Cem near the town center to the more secluded Culwell Cem and Boatright Cem. The map tracks the drainage of Cave Creek and Sinking Creek, illustrating how the waterway system influenced the placement of early homesteads and crossroads. The boundary between the two counties bisects the quadrangle, highlighting the shared topography of these Ozark foothills.
