This map shows that in a 100-year flood (several have occurred in past 50 years) virtually all the roads surrounding the Goshen BSA land would be inundated. Evacuation would be dangerous and difficult for 1,000 campers - but impossible if it happened during a Jamboree with 45,000 - 100,000+ people on this site. Download the flooding and evacuation map.
The BSA's June 2008 Request for Proposals included the requirement that "at least 2,000 of the 3,000 developable acres must have less than 7% slope." This map shows that the Goshen site has significantly less 1,000 acres (white areas) that is outside the flood plain and less than 7% slope. If wetlands were excluded there would be even less available land. Download the site analysis map.
