About this map

Spring Creek Cem and Hillcrest Cem anchor the rural landscape of western Kandiyohi County in this 2016 survey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and drainage systems, most notably Monson Lake and Lake Frank. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the engineered path of County Ditch Number One and the Hollerberg Floodway, which underscore the region's agricultural focus. The boundary between Swift and Kandiyohi counties cuts through the eastern portion of the sheet, where Sunburg Lake and W Sunburg Lake straddle the line. This modern topographic record captures the enduring rural character of these Minnesota townships, where family history is preserved at sites like Frank Lake Cem and Monson Lake Cem amidst a patchwork of section roads and prairie potholes.
