2020 Map of Brinsmade

About this map

Brinsmade serves as the central hub of this Benson County landscape, where the intersection of Benson Ave and Railroad Ave reflects the village's historic development alongside the local transit corridor. The area is defined by its numerous glacial water bodies, including Lake Yri, Silver Lake, and O'Connell Lake, which are linked by the winding drainage of Big Coulee. This water-rich prairie environment is marked by several early community landmarks that offer significant value for genealogical research. Three distinct burial grounds—Lebanon Cem, Saint John's Catholic Cem, and the Brinsmade Lutheran Cem—point to the diverse denominational heritage of the township's early settlers. The grid of county roads, such as Co Rd 0314 and 57th St NE, connects these landmarks across the northern Great Plains terrain.
