About this map

Middle Fork Crow River and Grove Cr wind through the northern sections of this Meeker County landscape, where the prairie begins to break into a complex network of wetlands and small basins. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the northern edge of Litchfield, showing the city's transition from an organized street grid—including Park Village—into the surrounding agricultural fields.

Evidence of the local community and its geography is found in landmarks like Calvary Cem and named water bodies such as Towers Lake and Chicken Lake. The map illustrates a highly developed rural infrastructure, dominated by a strict grid of section roads like Co St Aid Hwy 31 and Co Rd 11, which connect the scattered farmsteads of the central Minnesota plains. The drainage patterns of the North Fork Crow River further characterize the area's hydrology, highlighting the significance of water management in this agricultural region.
