2024 Map of Binford NE

About this map

The Bethlehem Lutheran Free Church Cem serves as a central landmark for this North Dakota prairie landscape along the border of Nelson and Griggs Counties. The area is defined by its extensive wetland conservation efforts, specifically within the Nelson County Waterfowl Production Area and the Griggs County Waterfowl Production Area. These designated zones, alongside bodies of water like Mannie Lake and Red Willow Lake, highlight a terrain dominated by glacial potholes and managed prairie habitats. A rigid section-line road grid, including 17th St NE and Co Rd 18, organizes the rural landscape, connecting isolated homesteads and local sites like the Sheyenne Cem in the north. This 2024 survey documents a region where agricultural land use is carefully balanced with significant waterfowl habitat protection.
