1958 Map of Goldwin SW

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and scattered rural institutions define this mid-century landscape in Stutsman County. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including Eric Lake, Fischer Lake, and Spring Lake, alongside the partially dried East Fischer Lakebed. These wetlands are largely preserved within several tracts of the National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the region's importance to migratory bird conservation. Settlement is sparse, concentrated at isolated sites like School No 1 and religious landmarks such as Medina Ch and the Reformed Cem. The map reveals the rectilinear grid of the Missouri River Basin development era, where unimproved roads connect remote farms across the townships of Paris, Valley Spring, and Strong.
