About this map

The confluence of the Chippewa River and the Minnesota River anchors the city of Montevideo, serving as a vital geographical hub in Chippewa County. This 2010 survey details the urban layout of the city, highlighting local heritage sites like the Chippewa City Pioneer Village and the Chippewa County Fairgrounds. The landscape is a mix of municipal infrastructure and agricultural utility, from the Montevideo-Chippewa County Airport to the Don Halverson Farm Pond Dam on the southern edge of town.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Sunset Memorial Cemetery, Saint Joseph Cemetery, and the Strombeck Cemetery to the southeast. Further out, the rural character is defined by a network of drainage systems like County Ditch Number Sixtyseven and County Ditch Number Fiftynine, illustrating the managed water system that supports the local economy. Small settlements like Wegdahl and unique landmarks such as the Fiesta City Speedway provide clear points of interest for local history researchers.
