About this map

Goshen serves as a primary hub in this Pike County landscape, situated along the Central of Georgia rail line. The late 1960s rural character of the region is defined by a network of small settlements like Henderson, Pleasant Ridge, and Baltic, many centered around local institutions such as Stringer High Sch and Hopewell Ch. The terrain is deeply carved by the Conecuh River and its numerous tributaries, including Smilies Mill Creek and Warrick Creek.

Industry and land use are evident through the presence of several mines and a Strip Mine in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, alongside numerous family-named landmarks like Shaver Pond, Folmars Pond, and Loftins Pond. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, ranging from Hillcrest Cem to the Old Salem Cem, which document the long-standing community footprint within this river-veined corner of Alabama.
