2011 Map of Eckelson

About this map

Eckelson serves as the central focal point of this prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of 1st St and 101st Ave SE. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of elongated water bodies, most notably Fox Lake to the northwest and Eckelson Lake which stretches through the eastern half of the township. This 2011 survey documents a highly organized section-line road network, where routes like 102nd Ave SE and 33rd St SE create a rigid grid across the undulating wetlands. The spatial relationship between the town and these large lakes suggests a settlement pattern deeply influenced by the local hydrography of Barnes County, with the infrastructure of Interstate 94 cutting a distinct path across the lower portion of the quadrangle.
