2011 Map of Froelich Dam

About this map

Froelich Dam serves as the primary landmark in this section of the Sioux County landscape, creating a local reservoir that interrupts the natural drainage of the region. The surrounding terrain is characterized by the expansive Little Heart Flats, a broad physiographic feature that defines the local topography south of the water. Winding through the northern and southern reaches of the quadrangle, Porcupine Creek provides the principal hydrological structure for this rural area. The map illustrates a sparse network of section-line roads and local routes typical of the North Dakota plains, reflecting a landscape dedicated to large-scale agriculture and open range, where water management features like the dam are central to the infrastructure of the Fort Yates District.
