About this map

The Sheyenne River meanders across this rural landscape where the borders of Benson, Wells, and Eddy counties meet. The terrain is characterized by the complex wetland systems and prairie potholes typical of this region, with the river providing a primary drainage corridor through the northern and eastern sections. Settlement patterns are defined by a sparse grid of section-line roads, including Co Rd 1 and 30th St Ne, which navigate the numerous small basins and glacial depressions. Local history is anchored by the Augustana Lutheran Cem and Eden Cem, both located near the intersections of these rural township roads. This area reflects a late-period focus on agricultural land use and natural resource conservation, where the interaction between the shifting river path and established property lines continues to shape the local geography.
