About this map

Benson County's section-line grid defines this prairie landscape, revealing a highly organized system of agricultural access in the early twenty-first century. The terrain is structured by a network of rural roads such as 49th St NE and 51st Ave NE, which divide the land into the classic square-mile sections characteristic of the Great Plains. Scattered throughout this grid are numerous small wetlands and prairie potholes, including several water bodies near 46th St NE and 57th Ave NE. These ephemeral features suggest the local hydrology of the Devils Lake basin area. While no town sites appear on this specific sheet, the intersection of routes like 41st St NE and 54th Ave NE indicates the essential infrastructure supporting the region's ranching and farming operations during this era.
