2016 Map of Big Bend City

About this map

The Chippewa River valley defines the southern reaches of this landscape, where the small settlements of Big Bend City and Hagan sit near the river's winding course. This portion of Chippewa and Swift counties is characterized by a high density of wetlands and small basins scattered across a strictly gridded agricultural interior. The confluence of Cottonwood Cr with the main river channel provides a natural break in the township and range survey lines that otherwise dictate the movement of local roads like Co Rd 61 and 100th St SW. For those researching local family history, the West Bank Cem serves as a lone landmark in the northeastern section of the quadrangle, situated along 90th Ave SW. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where water management and section-line farming remain the primary spatial drivers.
