1968 Map of Hancock NW

About this map

The Pomme De Terre River meanders across this West Central Minnesota landscape, carving a distinct valley through the agricultural plains of Stevens Co and Swift Co. At the end of the 1960s, the region was defined by its townships, including Darnen, Horton, Hegbert, and Fairfield. Small cultural landmarks such as the Apostolic Ch and Zion Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in these rural communities. The infrastructure of the era is marked by the presence of a Townhall and the modification of the natural water system through the Judicial Ditch No 63, alongside smaller tributaries like Dry Wood Creek. Scattered Gravel Pit operations highlight the local extractive activity that supported the road networks connecting these prairie farmsteads.
