2017 Map of Tilden

About this map

Tilden sits at the intersection of 64th Ave NE and 52nd St NE, serving as a central point in this prairie landscape along the Benson and Ramsey county line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial potholes and larger water bodies, including Lake Murie, Lake Yri, and Silver Lake to the west. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by the winding courses of Little Coulee and the more prominent Big Coulee, which flows toward the southeast into Pelican Lake. Cultural landmarks like the Presbyterian Cemetery in the northeast quadrant offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracking early families in the region. The map also documents the expansive shoreline of Oswalds Bay at the edge of the sheet, illustrating how water levels shape the local geography and road access in this portion of the North Dakota plains.
