Auf einer alten Karte (Block 18) ist die Farm von Johann Jacob Bauer in Goshen Township eingezeichnet. Das alte Farmhaus steht auf dem 800 Meter mal 800 Meter großen Land an der Sunflower Road Ecke 28th Road.
Einen Block östlicher (Thunder Road) und einen Block südlicher (27th Road) steht das alte Schulhaus, gegenüber ist der Goshen Central Cemetery. Den Familien Riecher und Alexander, deren Nachkommen in die Familie Bauer eingeheiratet haben, gehören Farmen in der Nachbarschaft.
Diese Karte ist aus einem
historischen Buch von 1881, also vor der Auswanderung der Familie Bauer und zeigt zum Teil andere Eigentümer.
Die Schule gab es damals schon (Block 19), auch den Friedhof auf Block 30 gab es bereits. Eigentümer der nordöstlichen Ecke von Block 29 ist G. Schaubel.
