2017 Map of Baldhill Dam

About this map

Baldhill Dam anchors the landscape of Barnes County, where it impounds the Sheyenne River to create the expansive Lake Ashtabula. This 2017 survey details the recreational and residential development along the reservoir's winding shoreline, particularly on the eastern banks. Small residential clusters and landings, such as Lees Subdivision, Sadeks Lndg, and Eggert's Lndg, define the human footprint in this prairie river valley. On the western side of the water, the N Country National Scenic Trail follows the topography of the river bluffs, providing a continuous recreational corridor through the region. The map reflects the 21st-century character of the area, where water management and lakefront communities like Lake St Jenetts Beach and Martins Lndg have transformed the traditional agricultural sections of t142n r59w and t141n r58w.
