About this map

Lake Hendricks anchors this survey of the borderlands where Minnesota meets South Dakota. The settlement of Hendricks sits on the lake's eastern shore, characterized by a structured grid including E Garfield St and the local Po. The surrounding landscape is part of the Coteau des Prairies, a high glacial plateau that creates a complex drainage system of sloughs and small lakes.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial sites marking the immigrant heritage of the region, including the Swedish Mission Church Cem. and the Bohemian Cem. Water features dominate the rural sections, from the headwaters of the Lac qui Parle River to the isolated Black Slough and Twin Lake. The map clearly delineates the multi-county junction of Deuel, Brookings, and Lincoln counties, providing a precise look at the township and range divisions of this agricultural landscape.
