About this map

Hendricks serves as the primary hub of this prairie landscape, situated along the northern shore of Lake Hendricks. The settlement pattern is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid, including County Hwy-17 and County Hwy-132, which connect the town to surrounding agricultural lands. The area is dotted with numerous burial grounds reflecting its early community heritage, such as Wood Lake Cemetery, Bohemian Cemetery, and Hansonville Cemetery.

Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, with the Lac qui Parle River winding through the eastern sections. Notable landmarks like the Gerald Christianson Farm Pond Dam illustrate the local management of water resources on the plains. Genealogists may find the Hendricks Post Office and the diverse cluster of local cemeteries like Bethlehem Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery particularly useful for locating family roots in this Minnesota-South Dakota border region.
