2020 Map of Pekin

About this map

Pekin serves as the central hub of this Nelson County landscape, where the local grid of Railroad Ave and Co Rd 16 defines the small-town layout. To the south, the Pekin Cem remains a significant site for genealogical research, situated just north of the winding course of the Sheyenne River. The geography is characterized by the numerous wetlands and depressions typical of the region, anchored in the north by the expansive waters of Stump Lake. Drainage through the eastern portion of the map is managed by Silver Cr, which meanders through a series of section lines and rural tracks. The survey illustrates a well-ordered township system, visible in the alignment of roads like 26th St NE and 31st St NE, which connect the outlying farmsteads to the municipal core at Pekin.
