2024 Map of Josephine

About this map

Josephine anchors this Benson County landscape, a region defined by its glacial prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands. The map details a rural geography where early twentieth-century heritage remains visible through sites like Stony Lake Lutheran Cem E L C A near the shores of Stony Lake, and Antelope Valley Cem further south. These landmarks, along with Long Lake, signify the enduring character of a township structured by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the grid of section lines and roads such as Co Rd 0328. Significant portions of the terrain are dedicated to conservation, notably the Benson County Waterfowl Production Area, which protects the numerous small basins and the Peterson Coulee drainage. This survey reflects the balance between agricultural land use and the preservation of the central flyway's essential water bodies.
