2013 Map of Litchfield South

About this map

Litchfield serves as the northern anchor for this agricultural and glacial lake region in Meeker County. The landscape is defined by its numerous water bodies, including Lake Ripley, Lake Minnie-Belle, and Lake Harold, which have long shaped the local recreational and residential patterns. In the southern portion of the map, the small settlements of Strout and Beckville remain as historical touchpoints in a territory largely dedicated to dairy farming and aviation, as seen with Barka Dairy and the L & M Aerodrome. A clear grid of township roads connects various generational landmarks like the Nelson Farm and Ness Cem. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern configuration of transportation, specifically the corridor of Minnesota Highway 22 as it bypasses E Lake Ripley and heads toward the Litchfield Municipal Airport, documenting the persistent rural character of the Minnesota prairie.
