About this map

Goshen serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by harness racing traditions and substantial institutions. The village core is notable for its proximity to the Historic Track and Good Time Park, reflecting the area's deep equestrian heritage. Surrounding the town, the Erie RR winds through a mix of agricultural land and scattered educational and religious sites, such as the Selesian Sch and the Blessed Sacrament Academy.

To the north and east, the Wallkill River and its tributaries like the Otter Kill carve through the terrain, passing through small hubs like Campbell Hall and Phillipsburg. These watercourses and the nearby Purgatory Swamp illustrate the natural drainage patterns that shaped local development. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous family and church burial grounds, including St Johns Cem, St James Cem, and the Wallkill Cemetery.
