1958 Map of Goldwin SW

About this map

Glacial potholes and small water bodies dominate this prairie landscape in Stutsman County, appearing here as it was surveyed in the late 1950s. The map shows a region organized by the Public Land Survey System, with townships like Strong, Paris, Valley Spring, and Iosco defining the local geography. Human settlement is sparse but structured around local institutions, notably Medina Ch and the adjacent cemetery in the southern portion of the sheet. Education in this rural environment is represented by multiple locations of School No 1, which served the farming families of the northern and southern townships. The topography is defined by significant water features such as Fischer Lake and East Fischer Lake, along with Spring Lake further south. These lakes and the scattered wetlands surrounding them are characteristic of the Missouri Coteau region, providing a detailed look at the hydrology before modern land use changes.
