2011 Map of Odland Dam NE

About this map

Blue Mountain Cemetery serves as a primary local landmark in this sparsely populated stretch of Golden Valley County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Beaver Creek, which is fed by Dry Creek as it moves across the prairie terrain. Human intervention in the local water system is marked by the presence of Hollar Dam, a small-scale structure likely tied to livestock or local irrigation needs. Transportation in this corner of North Dakota is limited to a grid of section-line roads, including Vinquist Rd, which provides access to the ranching and agricultural lands that dominate the region. This 2011 survey illustrates the late-twentieth and early twenty-first-century rural layout, where vast distances are punctuated only by essential water management features and small family burial sites.
