2024 Map of Benedict

About this map

Benedict serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, situated near the border between Ward and McLean counties. The town's civic life and local history are anchored by its Post Office and a triad of religious sites, including the Benedict Methodist Cem, Benedict Bethania Lutheran Cem, and the Benedict Concordia Lutheran Cem. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of sectional roads like Co Hwy 23 and 373rd Ave SE, which navigate a pothole-rich topography typical of the region. This 2024 data highlights the enduring importance of these family and community sites in a sparsely populated agricultural area, where McMann Lake provides one of the few named water features among the numerous wetlands that characterize the drainage patterns of North Dakota's central plains.
