About this map

Lac qui Parle County’s agricultural landscape is defined here by a network of drainage infrastructure, such as County Ditch Number Sixty-nine and County Ditch Number Seventeen. These engineered waterways crisscross the prairie, supporting the expansive farmsteads that characterize this portion of Western Minnesota. In the northern section of the sheet, the Lac Qui Parle County Airport sits adjacent to CO Road C, serving as a modern transportation hub for the rural community.

Genealogists will find interest in the preserved local history marked by Hamlin Cem and Garfield Cem, which represent early settlement points in the township. The transport network is anchored by Us-212, which runs east-to-west across the center of the quadrangle, intersecting a grid of gravel roads like 170th St. This survey provides a clear view of the rural section lines and water management systems that have shaped the county's development into the 21st century.
