About this map

Glacial potholes and small prairie wetlands dominate the landscape of Benson County in this recent survey. The terrain is defined by a high density of water bodies scattered across the Public Land Survey System townships of t154n r69w, t154n r68w, and t152n r68w. This township-and-range grid coordinates the rural road network, which remains sparse and strictly rectilinear. Major east-west thoroughfares such as Toso Rd and Stolz Rd provide the primary access through this agricultural and conservation-heavy region. The map captures the intricate topography of the northern plains, where subtle elevation changes and numerous depressions create a complex hydrological pattern typical of the North Dakota drift prairie. Local routes like 49th St NE and 41st St NE mark the northern and southern bounds of this section, illustrating the persistent influence of the 19th-century land surveys on modern rural navigation.
