About this map

Pelican Lake and the winding course of the Big Coulee dominate the southern landscape of this North Dakota quadrangle, reflecting a terrain shaped by glacial depressions and intermittent drainage. The small settlement of Tilden sits at a crossroads in the western portion of the map, serving as a quiet focal point for a region defined by agricultural sections and a network of precisely gridded roads such as 69th Ave NE and 56th St NE.

A cluster of smaller water bodies including Stink Lake, Lake Murie, Lake Yri, and Silver Lake dot the northwestern corner, providing a contrast to the dry coulees. Local history is anchored by the Presbyterian Cemetery located in the northeast, a key landmark for genealogical research in this prairie environment. The map illustrates the 2011 state of rural Benson County, where the relationship between water resources and settlement patterns remains central to the landscape.
