2017 Map of Brinsmade

About this map

Brinsmade serves as the focal point of this North Dakota prairie landscape, situated in the heart of Benson County. The settlement is organized around a traditional grid that includes Elm St, Benson Ave, and the tellingly named Railroad Ave, reflecting the transportation infrastructure that historically sustained these rural communities. To the southwest of the town center, the Brinsmade Lutheran Cem stands as a significant site for genealogical research and local history. The surrounding terrain is characterized by numerous glacial lakes and depressions, including the prominent Big Coulee which flows toward Silver Lake in the east. Other named water bodies like Lake Murie, Lake Yri, and O'Connell Lake further define this water-rich agricultural region.
