About this map

Mayhew Creek and the Elk River define the watery landscape of central Benton County in this 2022 survey. The area is characterized by a grid of rural routes such as 45th St NE and Co Hwy 13, which connect small communities like Fruitville and Popple Creek. The map provides specific locations for genealogical research, including Saint Marys Cem near the settlement of Mayhew and Saint John's Cem further south.

The presence of County Ditch Number Seven and various wetland markers indicates a managed hydrologic system designed to drain the low-lying terrain for agriculture. From the northern reaches of Sucker Cr to the southern sweep of the Elk River, the map captures the transition between drainage infrastructure and natural watercourses that has shaped the regional development of these Minnesota townships.
