About this map

Baldhill Creek winds through this section of Griggs County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape dotted with prairie potholes and glacial depressions. This agricultural corridor is dominated by a systematic grid of section roads, including Main St and ND-200, which facilitate movement between the dispersed farmsteads of the region. Notable water bodies such as Phelps Lake, Long Lake, and Jones Lake gather in the northern and central reaches, providing critical landmarks in an otherwise uniform terrain of cultivated fields. The map captures the specialized rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, where county routes like CR-22 and CR-9 connect the remote townships of the North Dakota plains. This survey reflects the enduring homestead-style settlement pattern that has persisted since the late nineteenth century, even as modern paved highways like ND-200 have improved regional access.
