About this map

Clarissa serves as the central hub of this Central Minnesota landscape, where the intersection of Main St W and Leslie Ave W anchors the local community. The surrounding terrain is heavily defined by its water management and drainage history, visible in the extensive networks of County Ditch Number Twentyfive and County Ditch Number Thirtyone, alongside natural flows like Eagle Cr and the Partridge River.

For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several local burial grounds that mark the rural sections, including Zoar Cem, Saint Matthews Cem, and Bethlehem Cem. Near the settlement of Clarissa, the proximity of Saint Joseph Cem and Woodmans Cem suggests the historical growth of the town’s parish and civic life. The landscape is structured by a rigid section-line road system, including routes like Co Rd 22 and Kotter Rd, which partition the agricultural and wetland areas characteristic of Todd County.
