About this map

The Chippewa River carves a winding, serpentine path through this agricultural landscape in Chippewa County, joined by the waters of Shakopee Creek. This region is defined by its rectilinear grid of rural roads, including County Hwy-10 and County Hwy-70, which divide the land into neat sections of prairie and farmland. For genealogists and local historians, several vital landmarks are recorded along these routes. The Trinity Cemetery sits near the northern reaches of the river, while further south, the Big Bend Cemetery and Big Bend Lutheran Cemetery reflect the long-standing community centers of the township. The infrastructure of the area is further evidenced by a dense network of local streets such as Chip-Swift St NW and 70th St SW, which facilitate movement across the floodplains and upland fields.
