About this map

Pekin serves as the central hub of this Nelson County landscape, situated at the intersection of several local routes in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The town's small street grid, including Main St, Anne Ave, and 2nd St, reflects the organized settlement patterns typical of the region's agricultural towns. The surrounding terrain is defined by a distinct hydrological network, where the Sheyenne River winds through the southern reaches and Silver Creek drains the eastern territory.

Stretching across the northern section, the shoreline of Stump Lake provides a major natural landmark, contrasting with the geometric precision of the township road system. Routes like County Rd-24 and 30th St NE segment the landscape into predictable sections, typical of the Great Plains' rural infrastructure. This map documents the area's geography just after the first decade of the 21st century, showing the enduring relationship between the small town and its nearby waterways.
