Bentley serves as the central point of this southwestern North Dakota landscape, situated along the border of Grant and Hettinger counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Cannonball River and its tributary, Thirty-mile Cr, which carve distinct drainage patterns across the prairie. This area shows a sparse settlement pattern typical of the region's agricultural character, with local life centered around the namesake townsite and its outlying infrastructure. Genealogists can identify key burial sites such as Odessa Cem in the north and Bentley Cem located just west of the main settlement. The survey documents a grid of rural thoroughfares, including Bentley Rd and 78th Ave Sw, providing a clear view of the land divisions and property access points during the early 21st century.
