2024 Map of Blaisdell

About this map

Blaisdell serves as the central point of interest in this survey of Mountrail County, sitting amidst a landscape defined by prairie potholes and conservation land. The settlement is anchored historically by the Saint Margarets Catholic Cem, which remains a key site for genealogical research in this part of the state. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by the Mountrail County Waterfowl Production Area, which consists of several non-contiguous tracts of protected wetlands and grasslands. Transportation through this rural corridor follows the route of Old Hwy 2, while a network of numbered section-line roads like 66th Ave NW and 60th St NW carve the landscape into its distinctive agrarian grid. The presence of the Prairie Trl suggests the continued importance of livestock and resource management in this northwestern North Dakota environment.
