2011 Map of Coldwater Lake

About this map

Coldwater Lake dominates the southern landscape of this prairie region, situated within the distinctive Coteau du Missouri plateau. This glacial landscape is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands that dot the township, illustrating the complex hydrography of the North Dakota plains. The area is defined by a strictly organized section line road grid, including 61st Ave SE and 95th St SE, which provide access to the rural homesteads and agricultural tracts. For those researching local family history, the map identifies two significant burial sites: the Bertsch Cemetery in the southwest and the Cemetery of Salem to the east. These small, rural cemeteries serve as the primary markers of the area's early settlement history, standing as quiet landmarks amidst the vast agricultural fields and water bodies of Spring Valley Township.
