About this map

The Pomme de Terre River snakes through this agricultural landscape in Swift County, defining the drainage patterns of the western Minnesota prairie. This rural expanse is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, illustrating the early settlement patterns and religious heritage of the township. Genealogists may find interest in the proximity of Saint Johns Cem, Trinity Cem, and the Evangelical Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's ancestral history. At the southern edge of the survey, the village of Holloway stands as the primary residential hub, connected by a network of sectional roads like Co Rd 56 and Co Rd 38. The presence of the Pomme de Terre River Tri further highlights the hydrological complexity of this tributary system as it flows south toward larger river basins.
