About this map

Lake Hendricks dominates the southwestern corner of this borderland survey, where the township of Hendricks sits adjacent to the Chicago and North Western rail line. The landscape is a complex network of prairie potholes and wetlands, including Fish Lake, Twin Lake, and Black Slough, shaped by the headwaters of the Lac qui Parle River. This 1960s perspective captures the rural character of Lincoln County, Minnesota, and the neighboring South Dakota counties of Brookings and Deuel.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous ethnic and community centers, such as Scandinavia and Hansonville. The map documents several important burial sites and congregations, including the Bohemian Cem, Swedish Mission Ch Cem, and Singsaas Ch Cem. Large portions of the land are dedicated to conservation, shown through the various wildlife management areas like the Sokota State Wildlife Management Area.
