2019 Map of Chokio

About this map

The town of Chokio serves as the central hub for this Stevens County landscape, where the grid of rural roads meets the low-lying prairie hydrology of west-central Minnesota. The map documents a complex drainage system essential to the agricultural productivity of the region, featuring Muddy Cr and the extensive County Ditch Number Fifteen. Water management is further evident in features like the Clark Lakebed and Jipson Slough, which characterize the glacial terrain. For those researching local heritage, the map clearly identifies the locations of Chokio Cem and Saint Marys Cem, both situated south of the main township. The boundary between Stevens and Big Stone counties is marked at the western edge, near the headwaters of W Fork Twelvemile Cr. The presence of Gravel Lake suggests the varying geological deposits that define the local economy and land use in this late 2010s survey.
