2013 Map of Big Slough

About this map

Spring Creek meanders through the northwest corner of this Clay County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the subtle relief of the glacial plains. This area, located near the borders of Wilkin and Otter Tail counties, is defined by its extensive system of section roads and scattered prairie wetlands. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, illustrating how natural drainage patterns like Spring Cr still influence the layout of the surrounding farmland. Modern elevation data reveals the gentle undulations of the terrain, providing a clear picture of the water management and land use within this portion of western Minnesota.
