== Geography == According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of {{convert|58.4|sqkm|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|58.1|sqkm|order=flip}} are land and {{convert|0.2|sqkm|order=flip|1}} are water, comprising 0.41% of the town.<ref name="CenPopGazetteer2021"/> Goshen is drained by the [[South Branch Sugar River]] and its tributaries Blood Brook and Gunnison Brook, and hence lies almost fully within the [[Connecticut River]] [[Drainage basin|watershed]]. Most of the southeastern part of town is drained by Cherry Brook, one of the headwaters of the [[Ashuelot River]], a southwestward-flowing tributary of the Connecticut, but a small area at the southeastern corner of town has the headwaters of the eastward-flowing [[West Branch Warner River]], part of the [[Merrimack River]] watershed.<ref name=watershed>{{cite book |title=Water Use in New Hampshire: An Activities Guide for Teachers |url=http://nh.water.usgs.gov/Publications/nh.intro.html |last=Foster |first=Debra H. |author2=Batorfalvy, Tatianna N. |author3= Medalie, Laura |publisher=U.S. Department of the Interior and U.S. Geological Survey |year=1995}}</ref> The long ridge of [[Mount Sunapee]] occupies the eastern edge of town. The highest point in Goshen is an unnamed knob on the ridge (near Goves Mountain) where the elevation reaches {{convert|2529|ft|m}} above [[sea level]]. [[New Hampshire Route 10]] passes through the western part of the town, including Goshen village, and leads north to [[Newport (CDP), New Hampshire|Newport]] and south to [[Keene, New Hampshire|Keene]]. [[New Hampshire Route 31]] has its northern terminus at Route 10 and leads southeast to [[Hillsborough, New Hampshire|Hillsborough]]. ===Adjacent municipalities=== * [[Sunapee, New Hampshire|Sunapee]] (north) * [[Newbury, New Hampshire|Newbury]] (east) * [[Bradford, New Hampshire|Bradford]] (southeast at one point) * [[Washington, New Hampshire|Washington]] (south) * [[Lempster, New Hampshire|Lempster]] (southwest) * [[Unity, New Hampshire|Unity]] (west) * [[Newport, New Hampshire|Newport]] (northwest)
