2016 Map of Churchill

About this map

Churchill and its surrounding agricultural landscape appear here as a complex network of managed waterways and rural landmarks. This portion of Renville County is defined by an extensive drainage system, including County Ditch Number Four, Judicial Ditch Number Thirtytwo, and Buffalo Cr. These man-made and natural channels illustrate the significant effort to reclaim and utilize the fertile prairie lands for farming. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are meticulously preserved across the township. The Brookfield Friends Cem, Methodist Episcopal Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem stand as quiet reminders of early settlement patterns and the diverse denominational roots of the community. In the northeast, Boon Lake provides a natural contrast to the grid-like precision of the surrounding county roads and section lines.
