About this map

The settlement of Darwin serves as the focal point of this Meeker County landscape, where the local road network converges near the Darwin Post Office. This 2010 survey reflects a region defined by its numerous water bodies and small rural communities, including the village of Casey. The township's history is anchored by sites such as Saint Johns Cemetery and Ellsworth Cemetery, which offer valuable coordinates for genealogical research in this part of Minnesota.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Lake Darwin and School House Lake dominating the central-east portion of the quadrangle. The presence of Ellsworth Landing on the banks of Washington Creek suggests a long-standing relationship with the local waterways. To the west, Lake Andrew Nelson and Round Lake punctuate the agricultural grid, while the northern edge is marked by the Darwin Winter Park Rest Area along the main highway corridor.
