About this map

The settlement of Hoffman serves as the focal point of this Grant County landscape, positioned where MN-55 and MN-27 intersect. This area is defined by a glacial terrain of prairie lakes and bifurcated drainage, with the Pomme de Terre River flowing through the western portion of the quadrangle while the Chippewa River winds through the east. These watercourses have historically dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads in this portion of West Central Minnesota.

Local genealogy and history are preserved at several rural burial sites, including Zion Cem, Land Cem, and Bethel Cem. Recreational life centers on the northern lakes, specifically at Elk Lake and the Elk Lake Beach Campground, as well as Lower Elk Lake. The map details a dense network of township roads, such as TWP HWY 160 and TWP HWY 184, which trace the section lines of the agricultural countryside.
