2011 Map of Blaisdell

About this map

Blaisdell sits at the heart of this Mountrail County landscape, where the prairie is defined by an intricate network of small wetlands and potholes. The settlement is positioned along Main St and Old Hwy 2, reflecting the importance of historical east-west transportation corridors across the North Dakota plains. The surrounding sections are partitioned by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including 66th Ave NW and 52nd St NW, which facilitate access to the numerous glacial depressions that dot the terrain. This 2011 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey illustrates the intersection of small-town development and the natural hydrology of the Missouri Plateau.
