2014 Map of Baldhill Dam

About this map

Lake Ashtabula dominates this section of the Sheyenne River valley, where the reservoir's fingers reach into the surrounding prairie coulees. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the high, flat agricultural lands and the steep, wooded breaks leading down to the water's edge. Local access to the reservoir is concentrated at several key points along the eastern shore, including Katie Olson Lndg, Sadeks Lndg, and Eggerts Lndg. These landings represent the primary points of human activity in an otherwise rural grid of section roads. The map reveals the precise layout of River Rd and Cr-19, which navigate the elevation changes near the dam, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting North Dakota's water management and recreation in the early twenty-first century.
