1929 Map of Benedict
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Benedict serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, established along the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad line. Surveyed in the mid-1920s, the map reveals a systematic rural organization across the border of Ward and McLean Counties. The terrain is characterized by broad glacial features including Iota Flat and Andrews, punctuated by small prairie potholes and water bodies like McMann Lake. This era shows a high density of rural education, with numerous numbered schoolhouses such as School No 1 and School No 4 distributed across townships like Brillian and Greeley. The presence of Oak Creek and the drainage toward Snake Creek suggests the agricultural importance of the local watershed during this period of North Dakota's development.
