2010 Map of Goshen

About this map

Rice Cemetery and the Gregory Cemetery sit atop the high ridges of the central West Virginia highlands, marking the family legacies of this isolated terrain. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several major river systems, including the uniquely named Left Fork Right Fork Little Kanawha River and the Left Fork Holly River. Small mountain communities like Goshen, Arvondale, and Eden are connected by winding mountain roads such as Eden Rd and the Baili Ridge Rd. The area’s significant elevation changes are punctuated by landmarks like Cleveland Mountain and Potato Knob, while the intricate drainage patterns are highlighted by notable cascades such as Waterfall Tecumseh Falls and Waterfall Tenskwatawa Falls. This topography showcases a rural settlement pattern where life and commerce were dictated by the deep hollows and narrow gaps, such as Big Run Gap and Windy Gap.
