2014 Map of Goss

About this map

Goss sits as the central settlement in this rural Monroe County landscape, positioned where the southern drainage of Otter Cr meets a network of local thoroughfares. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Salt River, which carves through the northeastern quadrant near a distinctive landform known as The Narrows. To the southeast, the rising waters of Mark Twain Lake reach into the river valley, fundamentally altering the local hydrology and shoreline compared to earlier eras. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the township, including Mount Joy Cemetery, Deer Creek Cemetery, and Crutcher Cemetery, which preserve the names of early resident families. The map details an intricate web of county routes, such as Monroe Road 319 and Monroe Road 358, that connect these remote homesteads and agricultural plots.
