About this map

Danvers serves as the primary focal point of this western Minnesota prairie landscape, situated near the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The town's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares such as Maryland Ave and Minnesota Ave. The surrounding terrain is a classic example of organized agricultural surveying, dominated by a rigid network of township and range lines including t121n r41w and t122n r41w. This structure organizes the landscape into a vast grid of section roads like Co Rd 11 and 110th Ave NW.

Water management is a central theme of this rural geography, exemplified by the presence of Judicial Ditch Number Eighty. This engineered waterway illustrates the significant human intervention required to drain and manage the low-lying wetlands of Swift County for intensive cultivation. Numerous small, unnamed ponds and seasonal wetlands remain scattered across the sections, particularly in the northern reaches, showing the original character of the land before the establishment of the modern ditch system.
