1968 Map of Clontarf South

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Chippewa River meanders through the southern portion of this West Central Minnesota landscape, defining a terrain shaped by post-glacial prairie potholes and extensive marshlands. The Great Northern railroad corridor serves as the primary developmental axis, cutting diagonally across the map to link the village of Clontarf with regional hubs. This survey illustrates a rural economy focused on conservation and water management, highlighted by the sprawling Danvers State Wildlife Management Area and the National Wildlife Management Area surrounding Lynch Lake. Genealogists will find local landmarks such as Townhall in the southwest and the Six Mile Grove Cem near the river, while industry is noted by the Benson Airport and a solitary Powerplant on the eastern edge. A network of drainage ditches, including Judicial Ditch No. 1 and No. 8, reveals the early 20th-century effort to reclaim this wetland for agriculture.
