About this map

Louriston Township Cem and the Swedish Lutheran Cem sit within the grid of agricultural lands in this section of Chippewa County. The landscape is defined by a rigid section-line road network, including arterial routes like Co Rd 4 and Co Rd 13, which connect the scattered homesteads and local landmarks. To the north, the Buffalo Lake Cem marks a local high point near the township line. A notable break in the rural pattern appears at Winter Strip, a small landing site that serves as a modern link for this agricultural community. This survey provides a clear view of the persistent land-use patterns in west-central Minnesota, where the 19th-century township divisions continue to shape the distribution of cemeteries and transport corridors.
