About this map

The Long Prairie River winds through the southern reaches of this Todd County landscape, where the small settlement of Clotho stands at the junction of modern county roads. The terrain is defined by a complex network of glacial hydrology and early agricultural engineering, featuring natural water bodies like Powers Lake and Gray Lake alongside man-made improvements such as County Ditch Number Four and County Ditch Number Twentytwo.

For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, including Freemans Creek Cem near the banks of Freemans Cr, and both Pleasant Mound Cem and Pleasant Valley Cem further west. These landmarks, along with family-named drainages like Eagle Cr and the descriptively named Dismal Cr, provide a clear picture of the rural community structure and land use in central Minnesota during the early 21st century.
