2014 Map of Golva

About this map

Golva sits at the northwestern corner of this landscape, a remote settlement where local life centers around the Po and Saint Marys Cem. The geography is defined by a grid of rural roads and the slow drainage of the High Plains, with Bullion Cr and Bosserman Lake providing vital water sources in an otherwise dry, open country. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Little Missouri National Grassland, where the drainage of Williams Cr cuts through the shortgrass prairie. This map reveals the persistence of rural heritage in Golden Valley County, where isolated landmarks like Burkey Cem and named thoroughfares such as S Farm to Market Rd mark the thin human footprint on this wide-open North Dakota landscape.
