1958 Map of Kerkhoven SW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Shakopee Lake and the wetlands of the upper Chippewa River basin dominate this agricultural landscape, recorded during a 1958 survey with later updates. The map reveals a rural community structured around township lines and small social hubs, specifically in the jurisdictions of Louriston, Crate, Grace, and Havelock. Local centers of gravity are represented by the Buffalo Lake Ch, Zion Ch, and the Township Cem, which provided essential spiritual and civic anchors for the surrounding farmsteads. The terrain is marked by numerous small depressions and a network of drainage, reflecting the post-glacial topography of the region. This 1958 data, photorevised in 1977, preserves a specific moment in Minnesota's rural history before larger-scale modern industrial farming further consolidated these landholdings.
