Swan Lake dominates the central landscape of this Nicollet County region, its complex shoreline defined by numerous named points and islands such as Big Island, Heyer Island, and Monson Island. The settlement of Courtland sits near the southern edge of the quadrangle, positioned between the Minnesota River and the lake. This area is a significant site for genealogical research, containing a high density of small burial grounds including the Fechner Farm Cemetery and Zimmerman Private Cemetery, as well as established congregational sites like the Swan Lake Lutheran Cemetery.
