2024 Map of Minnewaukan East

About this map

Minnewaukan sits at the western edge of this landscape, positioned where the shoreline meets a network of local roads and highways. The map is dominated by the expansive waters of Devils Lake, specifically its West Bay, which surrounds several prominent landforms including Grahams Island and Sams Hill. This 2024 survey illustrates the complex, fluid boundary between land and water in this region, where the Benson County Waterfowl Production Area spans multiple sections to protect vital prairie wetlands. Beyond the main lake, smaller bodies of water like Pelican Lake and Long Lake dot the surrounding terrain, emphasizing the importance of this aquatic ecosystem. The infrastructure is characterized by rural routes such as US Hwy 281 and Old Hwy 281, which connect the small settlement to the broader North Dakota prairie.
