2024 Map of Bentley

About this map

The Bentley settlement serves as the focal point of this rural prairie landscape, positioned where Bentley Rd cuts through the rolling topography of southwestern North Dakota. This modern survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and township boundaries of the region, including the divide between Grant and Hettinger counties. The Cannonball River meanders across the northern half of the quadrangle, joined by the tributary waters of Thirtymile Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of vital community landmarks such as Bentley Cem near the townsite and Odessa Cem to the northeast. The surrounding landscape is defined by a rigid grid of rural routes, including 72nd St SW and 77th Ave SW, which reflect the enduring Public Land Survey System that shaped the settlement of the northern plains.
