About this map

The Chippewa River meanders across this rural Swift County landscape, providing the primary natural drainage for a region largely defined by its rectilinear grid of township highways and county roads. In the southern portion of the map, the settlement of Clontarf serves as a local hub, anchored by the Clontarf Post Office. The area's communal and spiritual history is preserved at the Saint Malachy Cemetery near the town site and the West Zion Cemetery situated to the north.

Agricultural infrastructure is evident through the extensive network of drainage projects, most notably the County Ditch Number Twentythree, which illustrates the human modification of the prairie to support farming. This 2010 survey reflects the enduring pattern of Midwestern section-line roads, such as County Hwy-1 and County Hwy-71, which connect the scattered farmsteads of the Minnesota countryside.
