About this map

Gould City sits at a critical junction of high-plateau drainage systems, where the geography is defined by deeply carved watercourses that dictate the local road network. The map illustrates a landscape transitioned toward large-scale agricultural storage, evidenced by numerous Storage Bins clustered near road intersections like the Gould City Mayview Road. This area is dominated by the complex branching of Deadman Creek, which splits into North Deadman Creek and South Deadman Creek, and the similar division of Meadow Creek.

Named landmarks such as Wild Horse Hill and family-named features like Ben Day Gulch and Heaton Gulch provide important reference points for local history and land ownership. The presence of Coyote Spring and various other springs suggests the vital importance of water sources in this elevated terrain. Transportation follows the natural contours of the gulches, with the Ben Day Road and South Deadman Road providing the primary links between the scattered agricultural operations.
