2016 Map of Darfur

About this map

Darfur anchors this southwestern Minnesota landscape, situated at the intersection of a sprawling rural road network and the surrounding agricultural plains. The town's local history is well-preserved through several nearby burial sites, including Saint Johns Cem and Bethlehem Cem just to the west, while Salem Cem sits further north along the county line. The map highlights a complex hydrography dominated by the N Fork Watonwan River and the main Watonwan River, which meander through the southern and central sections of the quadrangle. Significant water features like Wood Lake provide a distinct contrast to the gridded townships. Genealogists and researchers can trace lineage through distinct rural markers such as the Haseman Post Cem and the First Mennonite Cem, which are located near Co Hwy 11 in the southern part of the survey area.
