2019 Map of Clarkfield NE

About this map

The Minnesota River and Chippewa River converge in this western Minnesota landscape, carving deep, winding paths through the agricultural grid of Lac qui Parle and Chippewa counties. This 2019 survey reveals a rural area defined by these river valleys and an extensive network of county roads like Co HWY 20 and Co HWY 18. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites that reflect the area's pioneer heritage, including the German American Cem, the private Sommerfeld Family Cem, and the dual grounds of Saint Petri Cem West and Saint Petri Cem East. The northern portion of the quadrangle shows the winding course of the Chippewa River as it enters from the north, while the Minnesota River dominates the central eastern section, creating a wetland-rich river bottom that contrasts sharply with the high, flat prairie farmland above.
