2010 Map of Lake Benton NW

About this map

Lake Hendricks dominates the northern border of this 2010 survey, straddling the line between Minnesota and South Dakota. This rural landscape in Lincoln County is defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and County Highways that connect isolated farmsteads and points of local heritage. The terrain is marked by gentle drainage patterns where Deer Creek flows through the western portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists and local historians will find significant markers of early settlement at Hendricks Cemetery and Trulock Cemetery, which serve as quiet anchors for the surrounding rural community. To the southeast, the waters of Lake Shaokatan reach into the map area, illustrating the glacial lakes characteristic of this region. The map captures a moment of modern rural infrastructure, showing the established network of roads like County Hwy-1 and County Hwy-16 that link these prairie townships.
