2014 Map of Eckelson

About this map

Eckelson serves as the primary settlement in this portion of Barnes County, situated just north of the major east-west transportation corridor. The landscape is defined by the elongated profile of Eckelson Lake, which stretches north-to-south through the center of the township, and the broader waters of Fox Lake to the west. This 2014 survey illustrates the characteristic section-line road grid of the North Dakota prairie, with routes like 35th St SE and 101st Ave SE providing access to the surrounding agricultural lands. The concentration of structures at Eckelson and along 2nd Ave highlights the enduring role of small-town centers in the regional economy, even as modern interstate travel bypasses the immediate townsite.
