About this map

The Sheyenne River winds through this rural landscape at the intersection of Benson, Wells, and Eddy counties. In this northern plains environment, the river’s path is the defining natural feature, cutting through terrain primarily organized by a rigid grid of agricultural section lines and county roads. Transportation is facilitated by local routes such as Co Road 12 and Cr-12, which serve as the primary conduits for the scattered farmsteads and rural operations in this region.

The map reveals a landscape shaped by glacial history, characterized by numerous small depressions and lakes located south of the river’s main channel. This area reflects a quiet, modern agricultural era where traditional township boundaries meet, marked by labels like Benson Co Wells Co and Wells Co Eddy Co. The absence of dense urban development emphasizes the importance of the river corridor for local drainage and the surrounding prairie for production.
