2016 Map of Chokio

About this map

The town of Chokio serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Stevens County, where the prairie grid is defined by a dense network of township roads and county highways. The map reveals the hydrology of the eastern plains, characterized by seasonal drainage patterns and depressions such as the Clark Lakebed and Jipson Slough. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Chokio Cem and Saint Marys Cem, which sit near the northern edge of Muddy Cr. The terrain is marked by significant water features like Gravel Lake and the engineered progress of County Ditch Number Fifteen. To the west, the boundary with Big Stone County is delineated near the headwaters of the W Fork Twelvemile Cr, illustrating the transition between these two Minnesota farming regions.
