About this map

Kerkhoven serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, where the local street grid is defined by its orientation to the rail-aligned Atlantic Ave and Pacific Ave. This 2013 survey illustrates the town's position at the intersection of Us-12 and regional county routes, with the Po and Kerkhoven Golf Course marking the community's social core. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is shaped by the winding paths of Mud Cr and Shakopee Cr, which drain the agricultural lands of western Minnesota.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds including Hillside Cem and W Salem Cem, which provide geographic touchstones for long-standing family names in Swift Co. The map also captures the county lines where Swift meets both Kandiyohi Co to the east and Chippewa Co to the south, showing how political boundaries bisect the rural sections and waterways like School Lake.
