2013 Map of Clontarf South

About this map

The Chippewa River winds through this agricultural portion of Swift County, anchoring a landscape defined by an extensive network of water management systems. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the prairie, where established settlements like Benson and Clontarf are connected by major transit corridors including Us-12 and MN-9. The map details the region's managed hydrology, featuring engineered watercourses such as Judicial Ditch Number Eighty and County Ditch Number Seven. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Six Mile Grove Cem in the southern section of the quadrangle, while the presence of the Benson Municipal Airport reflects the area's contemporary infrastructure. Natural prairie depressions are still visible in the forms of Lynch Lake and Malachy Lake, providing a contrast to the geometric precision of the township road grid and the diagonal path of the regional highways.
