About this map

Buffalo River and its tributary Hay Creek snake through this rural Clay County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dotted with numerous small basins. Named water bodies like Stinking Lake, Swede Grove Lake, and Rustad Lake are scattered across a grid of agricultural section lines and county highways. The settlement pattern is rooted in rail history, evidenced by the presence of Manitoba Junction and Winnipeg Junction, which flank the small community of Dale.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the Swedish Lutheran Cemetery in the north and Eskjo Cemetery to the south, reflecting the Scandinavian heritage of early settlers. The terrain is largely defined by these glacial lakes and the persistent winding path of the river, which cuts through the structured road network of County Hwy-24 and County Hwy-102.
