Benson serves as a significant regional hub along the Chippewa River, where a grid of streets named after states and early residents defines the town's core. The layout of the community is anchored by several memorial sites, including Benson City Cem, Saint Francis Cem, and Our Redeemer Cem, providing valuable touchstones for genealogical research in Swift County. Outside the residential blocks, the landscape is defined by an extensive water management system, including Judicial Ditch Number Five and County Ditch Number Eight, which supported the agricultural development of this prairie region.
