2013 Map of Lake Benton

About this map

Lake Benton sits at the base of the Coteau des Prairies, an expansive upland plateau that dominates the topography of Lincoln County. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its glacial history, where the village and its namesake lake are surrounded by a network of rural burial sites and agricultural drainage. Several small cemeteries, including the Danish Evangelical Cem and the Briffett Family Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories. The drainage pattern is marked by several key waterways such as Norwegian Cr and Medary Cr, which carve through the elevations of the Coteau. The intersection of Us-14 and Us-75 serves as the primary transportation hub, anchoring the residential streets of Lake Benton near the local Po.
