2020 Map of Eckelson

About this map

Eckelson sits at the heart of this Barnes County landscape, serving as a primary point of interest within a region characterized by its glacial water bodies and systematic road grid. The map depicts a territory defined by two major aquatic features: the elongated Eckelson Lake which stretches through the central sections, and Fox Lake to the west. These lakes are surrounded by numerous smaller wetlands and depressions typical of the North Dakota prairie. The infrastructure here is heavily defined by the Public Land Survey System, with roads like 32nd St SE and Airport Road following section lines across the townships of t140n r61w and t140n r60w. The convergence of Co Hwy 3 and 2nd Ave near the settlement highlights the historical importance of this small community as a local transportation node.
