About this map

Dry Wood Lake serves as a central landmark in this prairie landscape, where the borders of Stevens, Big Stone, and Swift Counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Artichoke Creek and Dry Wood Cr, which drain the surrounding agricultural lands. This survey reflects the rural continuity of the region, emphasizing a grid of secondary roads such as 230th Ave NW and 70th St NW that link isolated homesteads and community sites.

Local heritage is anchored by several burial grounds situated along these section lines, including Trinity Lutheran Cem in the northern portion and Good Shepherd Cem near the southern boundary. The presence of Saint Agnes Cem further illustrates the denominational history of the settlers who established these farms. The map detail provides a clear view of the drainage patterns and township infrastructure common to this part of western Minnesota.
