2019 Map of Boyd

About this map

The settlement of Boyd serves as the focal point for this landscape along the border of Lac Qui Parle Co and Yellow Medicine Co. A grid of section roads, such as Co Hwy 2 and 345th Ave, connects the agricultural parcels that dominate the region. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved among the fields, including Trinity Cem located near the town center and the more isolated Ten Mile Lake Cem. Water features are relatively sparse but significant to the local geography, notably Tenmile Lake in the northeastern corner and the winding path of Tenmile Cr. This 2019 survey documents the enduring rural structure of the Minnesota prairie, where the placement of cemeteries like Zion Cem and Fridhem Cem reflects the long-standing community centers established by early residents.
