1958 Map of Goshen

About this map

Richland Creek and its many tributaries, including Sinking Creek and Cherry Creek, carve through the uplands of the Washington Co and Madison Co border. The settlement of Goshen sits near the confluence of Mill Creek, while the community of Wesley anchors the southern portion of the map. This landscape is characterized by its numerous small-scale religious and memorial sites, such as the Richland Tabernacle and Mountain Springs Ch, which served the rural population during the mid-20th century. High points like Benson Mountain are capped by the Benson Lookout Tower, indicating the importance of fire observation in this heavily wooded terrain. The map's detailed documentation of family cemeteries, including Boatright Cem and Culwell Cem, provides a significant record of the area's genealogical history and early pioneer settlement patterns before later developments.
