About this map

Gould serves as the primary hub of this Harmon County landscape, situated at the junction of local transit routes and an Old Railroad Grade. The surrounding territory is organized into several distinct agricultural districts including Dryden, Martin, Coralea, and Looney. These named sections reveal a pattern of rural settlement where life centered around local landmarks like the Dryden Ch and the nearby Cem.

Water and topography play a significant role in the area's layout, with the East Fork and West Fork feeding into Sandy Creek. The terrain transitions into the distinct Star Valley to the south. Notable infrastructure of the mid-1980s is present, including a Landing Strip and a Fairground, indicating the community's role as a regional gathering place. The map also captures specialized land use, from the Sewage Disposal plant at Gould to the Club Lake area in the northeast.
