About this map

The S Fork Crow River meanders through the heart of this McLeod County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Biscay and a network of agricultural lands. The terrain is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring prominent water bodies such as Lake Mary, Ryan Lake, and Clear Lake, alongside the distinct Nobles Lakebed. This survey records the persistent rural character of the region, where drainage infrastructure like County Ditch Number Twelve A and Buffalo Cr supports the surrounding farmland.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several institutional landmarks, including Evangelical Cem, Saint John's Cem, and Emmanuel Cem. These sites, along with the Quast Airport, provide a detailed view of the community's physical and social organization in the early 21st century. The map also delineates the transition between the townships of t116n r29w and t115n r29w, showing the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on modern road layouts.
