About this map

Asbury and its surrounding agricultural landscape in Chippewa County are defined by a network of drainage and local history. The township is primarily composed of large-scale farming plots partitioned by a rigid grid of rural roads such as Co Rd 16 and 100th St SE. Scattered across this prairie landscape are several sites of genealogical importance, including Leenthrop Memorial Cem and Saron Cem, which serve as physical anchors for the area's legacy of family settlement.

Natural waterways provide the only break in the geometric road system, with Palmer Cr and Brafees Cr winding through the southern and central sections. Other seasonal flows like Dry Weather Cr and Spring Cr illustrate the hydrological character of the region. This 2019 survey documents the enduring rural structure of the Minnesota plains, where small community centers and quiet memorial grounds remain the focal points for local residents and researchers.
