About this map

Clotho sits at a geographic crossroads in Todd County, where the southern portion of the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Long Prairie River. This 2016 survey illustrates a region shaped by agricultural drainage and natural hydrology, featuring an extensive network of water management including County Ditch Number Twenty-two and County Ditch Number Four. The terrain is punctuated by significant local water bodies such as Powers Lake and Gray Lake, which are linked by smaller tributaries like Eagle Cr and Dismal Cr.

For genealogists and local historians, several landmark burial grounds provide anchors to the area's pioneer past. These include Pleasant Mound Cem in the southwest and Pleasant Valley Cem to the south, while Freemans Creek Cem is situated near the banks of Freemans Cr. The map's grid of section lines and rural roads, such as Co RD 38 and Inter Co E, provides a clear framework for tracing property boundaries and historic family homesteads.
