About this map

Hawk Cr meanders across this rural section of Chippewa County, defining the drainage patterns of an agricultural landscape shaped by a rectilinear grid of section roads. The terrain is dotted with small wetlands and depressions, characteristic of this part of Minnesota, while the human footprint is defined by isolated homesteads like Bluhm Farm. In the southeast corner, Sacred Heart Cem stands as a quiet marker of the local community's heritage near the intersection of 160th Ave SE and 5th St SE. Transportation through the area is anchored by Mn-40 and Co Hwy 2, which facilitate movement between the surrounding farmsteads. This survey captures the enduring rural character of the region, where family-named landmarks and local cemeteries remain the primary cultural anchors.
