1967 Map of Dawson SW

About this map

Providence and Freeland townships define the northern landscape of this prairie region, where an extensive network of drainage projects like Co Ditch No 85 and County Ditch No 79 reshaped the land for agriculture during the mid-20th century. The rural character of the era is anchored by small community centers and burial grounds, including the St Johns Cem and Nicolai Cem. In the southern reaches, the Lac qui Parle River and Lazarus Creek wind through Hammer and Oshkosh townships, providing the primary natural drainage amidst a grid of section lines and gravel roads. Local landmarks like the Providence Valley Ch and its neighboring Providence Valley Cem serve as vital touchstones for genealogists tracing family histories in these rural Minnesota precincts.
