About this map

Glacial geology defines this portion of Grant County, where the unincorporated settlement of Erdahl sits amidst a dense concentration of small basins and wetlands. The landscape is characterized by its numerous named bodies of water, from the larger Barrett Lake and Ellingson Lake to more localized features like Schmall Marsh and Willow Slough. The Chippewa River meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle, south of the village of Barrett.

For researchers focusing on local heritage, several historic burial sites are preserved across the township. The presence of Old Lincoln Cem and Lincoln Cem near Church Lake suggests early community focal points, while the Barrett Covenant Cem and Zionsborg Cem provide further markers of regional genealogy. A grid of county roads, including Co HWY 5 and Co RD 54, connects these small hubs, tracing the section lines of the original land surveys through a terrain of varying elevations and prairie potholes.
