About this map

Mt Tom stands as a prominent local landmark overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and prairie depressions. This 2022 survey captures the modern rural character of northern Kandiyohi County, where large water bodies like Norway Lake, Andrew Lake, and Lake Florida are interspersed with smaller features such as Skull Lake and Henschien Lake. The terrain transitions into the Bonanza Valley in the northeast, reflecting a region where the natural hydrology and agricultural road grids coexist.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the townships, including Colfax Cem, Burbank Cem, Lake Andrew Cem, and Lake Florida Cem. These sites, along with the winding course of Shakopee Cr, provide essential points of reference for tracing early settlement patterns. The map also details the established local infrastructure, from the shoreline access of Sibley Park Rd NW to the arterial routes of Co HWY 40 and Co HWY 29.
