2017 Map of Comstock

About this map

Lake Ibsen and the surrounding prairie terrain of Benson County define this northern landscape, captured in the decade following the turn of the millennium. The area is characterized by scattered wetlands and significant hydrological features such as Big Coulee, which drains toward the northeast corner of the sheet. For genealogists and local historians, the Wilmerth Cem stands as a notable landmark in the northern reaches, situated near the intersection of several section-line roads like 57th St NE. The small community of Comstock is positioned in the southeast, serving as a focal point in a region primarily structured by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the clearly marked boundaries of t155n r69w, t155n r68w, t154n r69w, and t154n r68w. Elevated relief is primarily found at The Buttes in the west, rising above the relatively level plains that have long supported agricultural life in North Dakota.
