2014 Map of Golden Valley NW

About this map

Defiance Cem sits at a prominent junction in this rural landscape, marking the boundary where Dunn Co and Mercer Co meet. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of several waterways, including Goodman Cr in the north and south, and the westward-flowing Hans Cr. This section of the North Dakota plains demonstrates a strictly rectilinear grid of section roads like 76th Ave NW and 2nd St NW, which dictate the movement of local traffic between isolated farmsteads and fields. Notable modern infrastructure includes the Frei Private Airport and the primary regional artery, ND-1806. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional prairie land is interconnected by modern regional routes and localized aviation, while maintaining its identity through family-named landmarks and essential local cemeteries.
