2014 Map of Dazey NE

About this map

Lake Ashtabula dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, its waters framed by steep, complex contouring that marks the edge of the glacial valley. The map documents the northern reaches of the reservoir where it meets Baldhill Creek, a waterway that carves a deep, winding path through the prairie before joining the lake. This 2014 survey records a largely rural agricultural area spanning the border of Griggs Co Barnes Co, characterized by a strictly organized section-line road grid that defines the upland terrain. Notable landmarks for local history include the Sunnyside Cem, situated in the northern section of the quadrangle, and the Ashtabula Bridge which crosses the reservoir's narrower northern neck. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the flat, productive tablelands above and the sharp elevation drops leading toward the river valley bottomlands.
