2020 Map of Baldhill Dam

About this map

Lake Ashtabula dominates this Barnes County landscape, created by the impoundment of the Sheyenne River at the Baldhill Dam. This 2020 survey illustrates the recreational and residential character that has developed along the reservoir's shoreline, specifically through several named landings and developments such as Lees Subdivision, Saders Lndg, and Eggert's Lndg. These small clusters of settlement contrast with the surrounding agricultural sections of t142n r58w and t141n r58w. For those interested in local heritage, the Zion Getchell Cem remains a fixed point of history amidst the changing land use. The map also traces the modern path of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it winds along the western banks, providing a detailed record of how public recreation and private residence coexist around this vital North Dakota waterway.
