2011 Map of Minnewaukan East

About this map

Minnewaukan sits at the edge of the rising waters of West Bay, part of the sprawling Devils Lake system in Benson County. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by shifting hydrology and civil engineering, most notably the Round Lake Outlet Control Dam located near the shore of Round Lake. The interplay between the expanding lake levels and the established grid of section roads like 45th St NE and 64th Ave NE reveals how the local infrastructure adapts to the prairie's natural basins. To the south, Long Lake and the elevation of Sams Hill provide the few breaks in the low-lying terrain, marking a region where the water's edge is a constant and defining presence for the community.
