About this map

The Great Northern railroad corridor serves as a primary artery through this mid-1960s landscape, connecting the agricultural communities of Clarissa and Browerville. The terrain is defined by a dense network of wetlands and small basins, particularly evident within the Iona State Wildlife Management Area. Local infrastructure of the era is well-represented, from the Clarissa Municipal Airfield near Eagle Creek to several rural educational sites like School No 2321.

Family history and local geography are anchored by several notable burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem, Deer Park Cem, and Freemans Creek Cem. The southern reach of the map follows the winding course of the Long Prairie River, where the landscape transitions into the townships of Reynolds and Long Prairie. This survey captures the rural character of Todd County before modern consolidation, preserving the locations of a local Townhall and numerous gravel extraction sites that once fueled the local economy.
