2020 Map of Binford

About this map

Binford serves as the central hub of this Griggs County landscape, where a dense cluster of local streets including W Miller Ave and Whitnery St meet at the town core. The surrounding prairie is defined by a complex glacial topography, resulting in a high density of water bodies ranging from the large Lake Jessie and Lake Addie to smaller basins like Plum Lake and Round Lake. The settlement patterns here are reflected in the preservation of community landmarks, particularly the cemeteries that serve the local population. Genealogists will find the Bethany Cem, Lutheran Cem, and the uniquely named Binford Gospel Tabernacle Cem located north and west of the main townsite. This network of wetlands and small lakes, such as Sibley Lake and Rush Lake, highlights the drainage challenges and environmental character of this section of the Red River Valley upland.
