The city of Hancock serves as the primary focal point of this west-central Minnesota landscape, situated at the border of Stevens and Swift counties. The town site is meticulously detailed with its original grid of streets, including Washington Ave, Atlantic Ave, and Pacific Ave, illustrating its historical development along the rail corridor. Beyond the town limits, the topography is defined by the managed drainage of the prairie, seen in the extensive reaches of Judicial Ditch Number Sixtythree and Judicial Ditch Number Nine. The presence of Byrne Lake and numerous small wetlands indicates the post-glacial depression-rich terrain characteristic of the region. This 2022 survey documents the contemporary road network, from the local Old Hwy 9 Twp Rd to the regional connections of Co Hwy 1 and Co Hwy 8, reflecting a landscape dedicated to large-scale agriculture and water management.
