2011 Map of Goldwin

About this map

Goldwin is the central focus of this prairie landscape in Stutsman County, situated among a distinct cluster of glacial wetlands and alkaline waters. The geography of the early 21st century is defined by a rhythmic grid of rural roads, including 59th Ave SE and 17th St SE, which provide access to a series of significant water bodies such as Northwestern Lake, West Lake, and Alkali Lake. In the southern portion of the area, Eric Lake and Brush Lake sit near the margins of the quadrangle. The settlement pattern here reflects the long-standing agricultural organization of the North Dakota plains, where small clusters like Goldwin serve as anchors within a network of section lines and seasonal basins.
