2016 Map of Barry

About this map

The small settlement of Barry occupies a central position in this prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of several county roads and rural avenues. This 2016 survey illustrates the agricultural character of western Minnesota, where the boundary between Traverse Co and Big Stone Co runs along 220th St. The terrain is defined by its extensive wetlands and water bodies, including Fogarty Lake and Clear Lake, which are characteristic of this glaciated region. Human modification of the landscape for drainage is evident through the path of Judicial Ditch Number Four in the northern portion of the map. The road network, consisting of thoroughfares like Co Hwy 5 and Co Rd 61, follows a rigid grid that segments the vast sections of land. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns that continue to shape local land use.
