2020 Map of Hesper
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Hesper and its surrounding prairie landscape define this portion of Benson County, where the topography is shaped by glacial depressions and the winding course of the Sheyenne River. Local history is anchored by the Fairview Scandinavian Lutheran Cem and Hesper Cem, which provide tangible links for genealogists tracing the area's Nordic settlement roots. The terrain is dotted with small bodies of water like Lake Mary and Legreid Lake, alongside the distinct Palmer Spring, illustrating the importance of water sources in this agricultural region. This survey also records the detailed grid of rural roads, such as Oksendahl Rd and Green Rd, that connect the section lines and define the spatial organization of these North Dakota townships.
