About this map

The Chippewa River winds through the eastern portion of this West Central Minnesota landscape, defining a corridor of wetlands and prairie in Swift County. The agricultural character of the region is punctuated by the settlements of Benson, Clontarf, and Danvers, which serve as the primary hubs for this rural community. An extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including County Ditch Number Seven and Judicial Ditch Number Eighty, illustrates the century-long effort to manage the local hydrology for farming.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Six Mile Grove Cem in the southern portion of the survey, a site of significant local heritage. The northern part of the map features the waters of Lynch Lake, while the Benson Municipal Airport stands as a modern landmark on the outskirts of the county seat. The presence of the Chippewa River Trl follows the river's path, offering a glimpse into the recreational use of the riparian landscape.
