2018 Map of Pekin

About this map

Pekin sits as the central settlement in this portion of Nelson County, organized around a traditional grid that reflects the region's agricultural and transit-oriented development. The town's layout is anchored by Railroad Ave and the local Po, serving as a hub for the surrounding township sections. To the north, the expansive waters of Stump Lake dominate the terrain, while the southern reaches are defined by the winding course of the Sheyenne River and its tributary, Silver Cr. This landscape is characterized by numerous prairie potholes and depressions typical of the North Dakota plains, punctuated by quiet landmarks like the Pekin Cem. The road network, including Co Rd 16 and various numbered section line roads like 26th St NE, illustrates the enduring structure of the rural landscape in the early 21st century.
