2011 Map of Bennett Lake

About this map

Scandia Lutheran Church Cemetery serves as a central landmark in this sparse region of Phillips County, where the high plains landscape is defined by its intermittent water features and drainage systems. This 2011 survey illustrates a remote prairie environment where land management is visible through numerous man-made structures like Robinson Dam, Lefdehl Dam, and Colen Dam. These modifications to the drainage basin, including the catchment at Bennett Lake, suggest a continued reliance on water conservation for ranching and agriculture in an area otherwise marked by the expansive Alkali Flat. Regional transport is facilitated by a grid of named routes such as Sun Prairie Rd and Content Rd, which connect the isolated cemetery and various water bodies like Solberg Slough across the open terrain.
