2014 Map of Hesper

About this map

Hesper and its surrounding prairie landscape define this Benson County quadrangle, where the N Fork Sheyenne River carves a distinct valley through the undulating plains. The settlement itself is anchored by the Hesper Cem to the north, reflecting the long-term community history of this North Dakota region. Water is a central element of the terrain, from the larger expanse of Legreid Lake to smaller basins like Lake Seventeen and Lake Mary. This 2014 survey captures the precise grid of section roads, including 44th Ave NE and 32nd St NE, which facilitate the agricultural life of the area. Significant hydrologic features such as the Sheyenne River and Palmer Spring indicate the essential drainage patterns that have shaped land use and local geography for generations.
