About this map

Gowrie and Callender anchor this portion of Webster County, illustrating a landscape defined by highly structured township grids and specialized agricultural drainage. The terrain is crisscrossed by several artificial waterways, including Ditch Number 12 and Ditch Number 52, which supplement the natural flow of W Buttrick Cr and Tank Pond Cr. These features reflect the long-standing efforts to manage the prairie hydrology for intensive cultivation.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-placed burial sites throughout the township, such as the Danish Cem in the northwest and Our Saviour Cem centrally located along Easter Ave. The town of Callender is shown in detail, including street names like James St and Morgan St, while the larger settlement of Gowrie lies to the south, featuring the Gowrie Township Cem and prominent local thoroughfares like Main St.
