2013 Map of Hendricks

About this map

Hendricks sits at the southern edge of this survey, established where the Co Hwy-17 and MN-271 corridors meet. The landscape is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a high glacial plateau that shapes the drainage patterns of the region, including the headwaters of the Lac qui Parle River. This upland geography is punctuated by significant water bodies such as Fish Lake and Lake Hendricks, which straddles the state line between Minnesota and South Dakota. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including Bohemian Cem in the north and Hansonville Cem near the center of the quadrangle. The map documents a transition from the agricultural grid roads like 487th Ave to the natural contours of the lakeshores and riverbanks that historically dictated local settlement and movement.
