Heart Butte Dam, Embankment dam in Grant County, United States.

The Heart Butte Dam extends 1,850 feet across the Heart River, reaching a height of 142 feet and containing over 1 million cubic yards of earth fill material.

The United States Bureau of Reclamation completed the construction of Heart Butte Dam in 1949 to manage water resources and prevent flooding in southwestern North Dakota.

Lake Tschida bears the name of Michael Tschida Sr, the first mayor of Glen Ullin who supported the dam construction project in the Grant County region.

The reservoir provides water for agricultural irrigation while maintaining six primitive campgrounds with facilities such as wells and vault toilets for outdoor recreation.

The morning-glory type spillway processes 5,700 cubic feet of water per second when the pool reaches an elevation of 1,644 feet above sea level.
