2011 Map of York

About this map

The settlement of York sits as the central landmark in this Benson County landscape, defined by its traditional grid centered on Main Ave. Positioned along a major transportation corridor, the town is the hub for a strictly organized section-line road network that serves the surrounding agricultural prairie. These routes, including 66th St Ne and 60th St Ne, form a precise geometric lattice typical of the Great Plains' rural infrastructure. The terrain is marked by numerous small, scattered wetlands and depressions that interrupt the cultivated fields, illustrating the characteristic prairie pothole geography of the region. This 2011 survey captures the area's enduring reliance on its original surveying framework, with a landscape largely unchanged in its fundamental layout since the early days of homesteading.
