About this map

Kerkhoven serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Swift County, defined by a rigid grid of rural roads and the winding paths of Shakopee Creek and Mud Creek. The settlement pattern is anchored by the Kerkhoven Post Office and community spaces like the Kerkhoven Golf Course, reflecting a stable midwestern township structure.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of regional burial grounds, including Hillside Cemetery on the southern edge of town and West Salem Cemetery to the northeast. To the north, School Lake provides a natural landmark amidst the sprawling sections of farmland. The extensive network of numbered routes, such as County Hwy-6 and Kandi-Swift Rd NW, illustrates the connectivity between the various farmsteads and the village center at this point in the early 21st century.
