2019 Map of Lake Benton

About this map

Lake Benton sits at the heart of this southwestern Minnesota landscape, where the waters of the lake and several significant drainages define the local topography. This 2019 survey captures the area's intricate hydrologic network, including Norwegian Cr, Medury Cr, and Spring Cr, alongside the elevated landform of the Coteau des Prairies. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several distinct burial sites including the Memorial Hill Cem, the Briffett Family Cem, and the Danish Evangelical Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns and family heritage of Lincoln County. The grid-like road system, featuring routes like Co HWY 21 and Norwegian Creek Rd, provides a clear view of how rural access was structured across the townships of t109n r45w and t110n r45w in the early 21st century.
