THE GOLDEN LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin setting.
Golden township has 35.8 square miles of land in Walsh County. Its Census reference point is in Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin, within Lake Agassiz Plain.
The former bed of glacial Lake Agassiz forms an exceptionally flat plain in the Red River valley. Thick lake sediments overlie older glacial deposits across this historic prairie landscape.

Golden and Walsh County
Golden is associated with Walsh County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Golden by land and water
The Census records 0.21 square miles of water within Golden, or 0.6% of its total area. It is 0.4 percentage points lower than the 1% recorded for Walsh County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Golden township has 13.8 times the land area of nearby Park River city (2.59 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
