2010 Map of Chandler

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Murray County is defined by the settlements of Chandler and Lake Wilson, which anchor this 2010 survey. The township's grid of section roads, including Valley Rd and County Hwy 4, connects isolated farmsteads with civic centers like the Chandler Post Office and Lake Wilson Post Office. The terrain is shaped by a complex hydrology of natural waterways and early 20th-century drainage engineering, seen in the winding path of Chanarambie Creek and the straight line of Judicial Ditch Number Fourteen. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including Hillside Cemetery overlooking the lake and Trinity Cemetery on the eastern edge of town. Smaller water bodies like Moon Lake and the upper reaches of Champepadan Creek further characterize this prairie region during a period of steady rural land use.
