2020 Map of Goldwin

About this map

Goldwin stands as the primary settlement in this section of Stutsman County, situated at the junction of State Hwy 36 SE and Co Hwy 67. The surrounding landscape is defined by the high concentration of prairie potholes and larger water bodies characteristic of the Missouri Coteau region. Northwestern Lake and Alkali Lake dominate the central terrain, while West Lake and Eric Lake sit at the western and southern reaches. The geometric grid of section lines is maintained by a network of rural roads such as 61st Ave SE and 13th St SE, which navigate around the numerous wetlands. This 2020 update by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and hydrological patterns of the North Dakota plains, where the land is strictly divided by the Public Land Survey System even as water bodies shift and expand across the drainage-less basins.
