The confluence of the Republican River and the S Fork Republican River defines the landscape surrounding Benkelman, the county seat of Dundy County. This 2017 survey shows the town’s grid tightly integrated with the rail corridor, where Railroad St and E Railroad St parallel the tracks passing through the heart of the community. The surrounding terrain is a network of drainage systems and intermittent water features, including Spring Cr, Big Timber Cr, and the Twin Lakes. Small aviation facilities such as Hoppy's Airport and Jones Airport suggest the expansive, rural nature of the Nebraska-Kansas borderlands. Just north of the main settlement, the Benkelman Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark for researchers of this High Plains region.
