About this map

Leeds serves as the focal point of this Benson County landscape, situated at the junction of a major east-west rail corridor and local arteries like Main St E. The town's civic and spiritual history is documented through the presence of the Leeds Cem and the Saint Vincent DePaul Catholic Cem, which sit just north of the residential center. The surrounding terrain is characterized by the expansive waters of Lake Ibsen to the southeast, which contains a distinctive landform known as The Island.

Inland transport is dominated by the path of Old Hwy 2 and a grid of section-line roads such as 66th St NE and Beaver Rd. The map also details the Leeds Municipal Airport, reflecting the area's modern infrastructure. The surveyor's work captures a North Dakota prairie landscape where the rigid township and range system, seen in boundaries like t156n r68w, meets the irregular natural shoreline of the lake basin.
