About this map

Goldwin stands as the central point of reference in this prairie landscape of central North Dakota, situated within a complex network of wetlands and conservation lands. The surrounding territory is defined by the extensive Stutsman County Waterfowl Production Area, which encompasses numerous glacial potholes and significant water bodies including Northwestern Lake, West Lake, Alkali Lake, and Eric Lake. These features indicate a terrain shaped by glacial recession, creating a habitat that remains vital for migratory bird populations.

A grid of section-line roads, such as 59th Ave SE and 18th St SE, provides access through the rural townships. The presence of Co Hwy 67 serves as a primary north-south artery, connecting the scattered homesteads and agricultural tracts that surround the lakeside marshes. This layout reflects the enduring North Dakota township-and-range surveying system, where the natural hydrology of the prairie potholes often dictates the placement of transit routes and property boundaries.
