Knox serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, where the grain-growing heritage of the North Dakota plains meets a complex network of glacial wetlands. The town's local history is anchored by several burial grounds including Knox Lutheran Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Knox Cem, while Pleasant Valley Cem lies further to the southeast. The survey reveals a significant commitment to conservation, with the Benson County Waterfowl Production Area encompassing numerous parcels of land designed to preserve the region's vital migratory bird habitat. This pattern of land use highlights the coexistence of agriculture and ecological preservation in the Drift Prairie, where sections are divided by a precise grid of rural routes such as 66th St NE and Knox Rd crossing the county line between Pierce and Benson.
