1970 Map of Golden Valley NE

About this map

The Fort Berthold Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the northern landscape of this Mercer County region, marking a significant intersection of jurisdictional and cultural history. The topography is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Sakakawea Elev 1838, where the reservoir has reshaped the drainage of Beaver Creek. This 1970 survey captures the area as it was managed for the development of the Missouri River Basin, showing a landscape of scattered resource extraction and rural landmarks. Local history is anchored by the Nayzatch Cem, while small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit and various isolated Wells dotting the terrain. The map provides a clear look at the surveyed sections and township lines that define this portion of North Dakota's prairie country during a period of significant water management and land use changes.
