2011 Map of Golden Valley

About this map

Golden Valley serves as the central hub of this Mercer County landscape, where the town's grid is situated just north of the meandering Spring Creek. The surrounding prairie is defined by a systematic network of section roads like County Rd 7 and County Rd 5, which connect the rural community to its historic burial grounds. Family researchers can identify the locations of Saint James Cemetery to the north, Spring Creek Cemetery to the west, and Golgotha Cemetery to the south. These landmarks, along with the drainage of Goodman Creek, illustrate the spatial organization of North Dakota's farming country, where life and memory are tied closely to specific sections of land anchored by the local township.
