2014 Map of Goshen

About this map

Arvondale and Goshen sit within a landscape defined by the intricate headwaters of several major river systems in this 2014 survey. This region where Upshur Co, Webster Co, and Randolph Co converge is characterized by high ridges like Potato Knob and Haystack Knob. For genealogists, the map identifies several smaller family burial grounds, including Rice Cem near Canaan and the Vance Cem located in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, with places like Craddock and Suncrest linked by winding forest roads. The hydrological importance of the area is evident in the many converging forks, such as the Left Fork Holly River and the Right Fork Buckhannon River, which originate in these highlands.
