2024 Map of Niles

About this map

Niles sits at the heart of this North Dakota prairie landscape, where the Jeffersonian grid of the Public Land Survey System defines every mile. This 2024 map records a region shaped by the interplay of agriculture and natural conservation, notably the Benson County Waterfowl Production Area. The terrain is marked by numerous prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands, typical of the drift prairie, which are preserved alongside active farmland. A network of section-line roads, including 59th Ave NE and 66th St Ne, provides access to these rural tracts. The boundary between Towner Co and Benson Co runs along the northern edge of the sheet, while the name Leeds Irvine appears in multiple locations, likely reflecting local historical landholdings or specific water management districts within the township.
