2016 Map of Duelm

About this map

Duelm sits at the center of this rural landscape, which is defined by the complex water systems of southern Benton County. The area is characterized by a high density of small wetlands and larger bodies of water, including Rice Lake and the interconnected chain of Briggs Lake and Julia Lake. These waterways are fed by meandering channels like Stony Brook and Rice Creek, which drain toward the south. The settlement pattern follows a rigid section-line grid typical of the Midwest, with established routes like Co Hwy 10 and Duelm Rd SE connecting the scattered farmsteads. Near the town center, the Saint Lawrence Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking family histories in Saint George Township. The boundary between Benton Co Sherburne Co runs along the lower third of the map, separating the lake district from the northern reaches of Sherburne County.
