2021 Map of Goshen

About this map

Goshen is a small rural community in Mercer County, defined by a network of creeks and small lakes in the northern Missouri landscape. Modern infrastructure like Lake Paho and Campbell Lake interrupt the natural drainage of Sandy Cr and W Muddy Cr, which flow through the undulating terrain. The area's history is anchored by its burial grounds, including the Goshen Cem south of the main settlement and Pleasant Hill Cem to the north. These sites, along with Pleasant Ridge Church Cem, serve as primary landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing families in this agricultural region. The map shows a transition from traditional section-line roads like E 170th St to newer residential naming conventions such as Fantail Avenue and Falcon Rd.
