2016 Map of Danvers

About this map

The small community of Danvers serves as the focal point of this Swift County landscape, situated where the grid of rural township roads meets the more concentrated residential streets of Minnesota Ave and Maryland Ave. A central Po marks the village's role as a local service hub for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The terrain is defined by a strictly organized section-line road network, including thoroughfares such as Co Rd 11 and Co Rd 56, which facilitate the movement of goods across the prairie. Water management is a critical aspect of this environment, evidenced by the engineered path of Judicial Ditch Number Eighty flowing southeast of the main settlement. This infrastructure reflects the long-term transformation of the region's hydrology to support intensive farming, showing how natural drainage has been systematically modified to maintain the productive capacity of the soil.
