About this map

Canby anchors the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape, situated where the Lac qui Parle River and Canby Cr meet. The town's grid is well-defined by a series of residential and commercial avenues, including Saint Olaf Ave N and Haaffager Ave N. To the west, the settlement of Burr sits along the northern edge of the Coteau des Prairies, a prominent upland plateau that rises gradually from the surrounding plains.

Rural life is marked by several denominational burial grounds scattered throughout the township, such as Saint Peters Cem, Saint Pauls Cem, and Trinity Cem. The hydrology is defined by small, winding tributaries like Lazarus Cr and Mud Cr, which cut through the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. These features, along with Myers Field, provide a clear record of the region's development as it transitioned into the 21st century.
