About this map

The city of Morris serves as the regional hub in this West Central Minnesota landscape, defined by its education and transportation corridors. The prominent campus of the Univ of Minnesota-Morris anchors the northern portion of the city, situated near Summit Cem and Calvary Cem. To the southwest, the Morris Municipal Airport - Charlie Schmidt Field provides a modern aviation anchor, while the natural drainage of the prairie is evident in the meandering path of the Pomme de Terre River and Muddy Cr.

Glacial topography is visible through various depressions including Crystal Lake, Spooner Slough, and Coleman Slough, which break up the geometric precision of the township and range grid. This grid is further delineated by a network of county roads such as Co RD 22 and Co HWY 9, illustrating the intersection of established agricultural land divisions with the growing urban footprint of the county seat.
