2022 Map of Litchfield South

About this map

Litchfield anchors the northern boundary of this Meeker County landscape, where the street grid of the town site transitions into a mosaic of prairie wetlands and glacial lakes. The area south of the city is defined by a series of distinct water bodies, including the expansive Lake Ripley and the smaller Youngstrom Lake, Evenson Lake, and Lake Minnie-Belle. This 2022 survey captures the rural character of the region, where the small settlements of Beckville and Strout serve as local landmarks. Cultural history is anchored in several religious and burial sites, notably the Beckville Lutheran Cem, Swedish Baptist Cem, and Bethania Church Cem, which point to the area's heritage. Aviation infrastructure is also represented by the Litchfield Municipal Airport and the private L & M Aerodrome, illustrating the blend of traditional agricultural land use and modern transportation hubs in central Minnesota.
