About this map

The Pomme de Terre River meanders southward through this landscape, marking a central drainage point for the surrounding agricultural plains. The terrain is defined by a dense grid of township and county roads, reflecting the organized land division of the Upper Midwest. Notable water features like Dry Wood Cr and Byrne Lake punctuate the map, while Judicial Ditch Number Sixtythree illustrates the extensive drainage infrastructure necessary for modern farming in this region. This survey, spanning the border of Stevens and Swift counties, captures the quiet rural character of the area where early community markers like the Apostolic Christian Cem and Zion Cem remain as focal points for local history and genealogy.
