2019 Map of Barry

About this map

Barry serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, situated near the shared boundary of Traverse Co Big Stone Co. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal wetlands and distinctive water bodies, including the centrally located Fogarty Lake and the larger Clear Lake to the south. Human modification of the natural hydrology is evident in the straight course of Judicial Ditch Number Four, which cuts across the northern townships to manage the region's complex drainage. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural roads such as Co Hwy 13 and 800th Ave, reflecting the enduring agricultural organization of this Minnesota borderland. This 2019 survey provides a precise account of the modern rural infrastructure and water features that continue to shape the character of both Big Stone and Traverse counties.
