2017 Map of Odland Dam

About this map

Odland Dam forms a central water feature along the western edge of Golden Valley County, North Dakota, where the High Plains transition toward the Montana border. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Little Beaver Creek and its various tributaries, including Dry Cr and Hay Cr. This rural expanse is crisscrossed by a network of sectional roads and named routes that often reflect local land use and family history, such as Brenzer Rd, Carlyle Rd N, and Bass Rd. The map illustrates the sparsely populated ranching and farming country of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, providing a clear view of the territorial boundaries where the Wibaux and Golden Valley county lines meet the state divide.
