About this map

Clements serves as the primary hub for this agricultural portion of Redwood County, characterized by a meticulous grid of rural roads and an extensive network of water management features. The landscape is defined by its transition from natural hydrology to engineered drainage, seen in the winding path of Wabasha Cr contrasted against straight-lined improvements like County Ditch Number Twenty-two and County Ditch Number One Hundred Six. A notable local geographical feature is the Three Lakes Lakebed, suggesting the historical presence of surface water that has since been reclaimed for other uses.

Genealogists and local historians can find several specific burial and memorial sites, including Saint Joseph Cem and Bethlehem Cem south of the main settlement, and Crestlawn Memorial Garden to the northwest. The presence of the Matthew Wilson Plot and Robert Montgomery Plot provides rare documentation of smaller family or private land markers, while the Schiller Turkey Farm points to the area's specialized agricultural heritage.
