2019 Map of Big Bend City

About this map

The Chippewa River meanders through the southeastern portion of this landscape, carving a distinct valley near the small settlement of Big Bend City. This rural area at the border of Swift and Chippewa Counties is defined by its agricultural grid and the natural drainage patterns of Cottonwood Cr. The map captures a quiet stretch of the Minnesota prairie, where the hamlet of Hagan sits just north of the river bend. Local genealogy and history are preserved at the West Bank Cem, located along the eastern edge of the survey area. The intersection of local county roads, such as Co Rd 8 and Co Rd 6, highlights the enduring transport network that connects these scattered farmsteads and small communities.
