2014 Map of Tilden

About this map

The small settlement of Tilden serves as a quiet landmark in this prairie landscape, situated near the boundary where Benson and Ramsey Counties meet. The geography is defined by a series of significant glacial depressions and water bodies, including Stink Lake, Lake Murie, Lake Yri, and Silver Lake, which dominate the western half of the terrain. The presence of the Presbyterian Cem in the northeast quadrant provides a genealogical anchor for the community, located just south of the Us-2 corridor. The natural drainage of the land is visible through the winding paths of Big Coulee and Little Coulee, which cut through the agricultural grid established by roads such as 64th Ave NE and Co Road 2. This survey reflects the enduring rural character of North Dakota's lake country, where family history is tied to the section lines and seasonal wetlands like Pelican Lake.
