2011 Map of Minnewaukan West

About this map

Minnewaukan sits at the eastern edge of this landscape, its residential grid defined by streets like Main St W and West Ave N. The surrounding Benson County terrain is a vast expanse of section lines and rural crossroads, where the local history is preserved in several burial grounds. Researchers will find the Minnewaukan Cemetery and Saint Peter Cemetery just south of the town center, while the Free Church Cemetery is located further south along 63rd Ave NE. The southeastern corner is dominated by the waters of Long Lake, a significant local landmark. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a transition in the regional transportation network, with Highway 281 and Highway 19 serving as the primary arteries through the agricultural heartland, complemented by a strict grid of gravel roads like 47th St NE.
