2016 Map of Chandler

About this map

Chandler and Lake Wilson anchor this agricultural landscape in Murray County, situated atop the Coteau des Prairies upland plateau. The map reveals a strictly gridded section-line road network, including Main Ave and Carlton Ave in the heart of Chandler. Genealogy and local history researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds, such as Hillside Cem overlooking the water to the north, and both Trinity Cem and Chandler Memorial Cem situated near the town center. The hydrology of the region is characterized by small glacial basins and prairie streams, notably Moon Lake and the meandering headwaters of Chanarambie Cr. Systematic drainage projects are evidenced by the presence of Judicial Ditch Number Fourteen, which reflects the early 20th-century efforts to transform the prairie into highly productive farmland.
