About this map

The Chippewa River and the Minnesota River dominate the northern and eastern portions of this landscape, carving distinct channels through the agricultural plains of western Minnesota. This survey captures the boundary where Lac qui Parle and Chippewa Counties meet, as well as the southern border with Yellow Medicine County. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents several small burial sites scattered across the township grid. These include the Sommerfeld Family Cem and the German American Cem, alongside the Saint Petri Cem West and Saint Petri Cem East. The distribution of these sites, including the Camp Release Township Cem and Terrace Lawn Cem, reflects the early settlement patterns and faith communities of this prairie region.
