About this map

Shakopee Creek winds through this rural landscape along the border of Swift and Chippewa counties. The area is defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and drainage systems, most notably Judicial Ditch Number Five, which reflects the long-term engineering of the prairie to support local farming. This 2022 survey documents a quiet, traditional geography where small community landmarks remain central to the local identity.

Two significant burial sites, Saint John's Cem and the Saint Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Cem, serve as primary points of interest for genealogists and local historians. These sites, along with the network of county roads like Co Rd 6 and the boundary-marking Chippewa-Swift St NW, provide a clear framework for tracing family landholdings and the persistence of nineteenth-century settlement patterns into the twenty-first century.
