About this map

The Minnesota River flows through the southwestern corner of this survey, defining a landscape marked by the convergence of several significant tributaries including Hawk Cr and Chetomba Cr. The southeastern outskirts of Granite Falls are visible here, where the river serves as a natural boundary between Chippewa and Yellow Medicine counties. The map provides a detailed view of the rural township structure, revealing a network of section roads like 840th Ave and Co Hwy 11 that grid the agricultural uplands north of the river valley.

For those researching family history in Renville and Chippewa counties, several distinct burial grounds are documented, including the First Township Cem and the Vestre Sogn Lutheran Cem. Near the center of the sheet, the Hawk Creek Lutheran Church Cem sits along the winding path of Hawk Cr, illustrating the placement of early religious and community sites relative to the area's primary waterways. The Minnesota River Trl follows the river's edge, tracing the corridor that once drove the region's early settlement.
