2016 Map of Lawndale

About this map

The settlement of Lawndale serves as the focal point for this landscape in the Red River Valley region, situated near the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by a mix of agricultural plots and low-lying wetlands, most notably the expansive Lawndale Swamp and the channelized Judicial Ditch Number Three-Two. The map reveals the intricate rural road network that follows the Public Land Survey System grid, intersected diagonally by Co Hwy 52. Local history and genealogy are anchored by small, established burial grounds like Prairie View Cem and Little Bethany Cem, the latter situated near the border of Wilkin and Otter Tail Counties. The drainage of Deerhorn Cr meanders across the central township, illustrating the natural watercourses that persist amidst the heavily managed agricultural drainage systems of the Minnesota plains.
