About this map

The Buffalo River winds through this Clay County landscape, marking the southern reaches of the quadrangle near the city of Hawley. This area serves as a significant crossroads for regional travel and transport, featuring Old Hwy 2 and Main St which anchor the local grid. To the north, the smaller settlement of Hitterdal sits amidst a distinct collection of prairie potholes and wetlands, including Solwald Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find the placement of community burial grounds particularly useful, with the Hawley Cem located near the town center and both West Salem Cem and East Salem Cem situated further north near Hitterdal. The map also captures the local aviation footprint at the Hawley Municipal Airport, illustrating how mid-sized agricultural hubs in Minnesota integrated air travel into their infrastructure during this period.
