2013 Map of Comstock

About this map

Comstock serves as a primary hub of settlement in this part of the Red River Valley, appearing here alongside the smaller hamlet of Rustad to the north. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by a precise orthogonal road grid, which structures the agricultural expanse of Clay Co down to the border of Wilkin Co. The hydrology of the region is defined by the winding course of the S Br Buffalo River in the northeast and Wolverton Cr snaking through the southwest. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by the Comstock Cem and the local Po, while the presence of the Ottertail River Reservoir indicates the controlled water management essential to this prairie environment. The map provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure, from established county highways like Cohwy-3 to the numerous numbered township roads that facilitate the region's farming economy.
