2024 Map of Minnewaukan West

About this map

Minnewaukan serves as the focal point of this Benson County landscape, situated where the northern prairies meet the shifting western shoreline of Devils Lake. The town's significance as a local center of government is marked by the Benson County Court House, while its community history is preserved across several burial grounds including Minnewaukan Cem, Saint James Catholic Cem, and Trinity Free Cem. The surrounding terrain is characterized by the complex wetland systems of the Benson County Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the region's importance for migratory birds and conservation. A network of rural section-line roads, such as Toso Rd and Stolz Rd, provides a structured grid through the pothole-dotted landscape, connecting isolated landmarks like the Free Church Cem to the south. Further south, the map reaches the edges of Long Lake, showing the transition from agricultural tracts to significant water bodies.
