About this map

Sacred Heart Cem stands as a quiet landmark in the southeastern corner of this agricultural region, marking a point of local heritage within the grid of Chippewa County. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t119n r37w and t118n r37w, where the prairie is etched with a precise network of section lines and gravel roads. In the southwest, the wandering path of Hawk Cr provides the primary natural relief against the rectilinear farm plots. Major transit corridors such as Co Rd 2 and Co Rd 1 facilitate movement between the scattered farmsteads, while the dense concentration of wetlands and depressional basins across the townships reflects the glacially-formed hydrology characteristic of west-central Minnesota.
