About this map

The town of Murdock serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in eastern Swift County, where the grid of rural roads like 100th St SE and Co Rd 31 organizes the prairie into distinct sections. Settlement patterns are anchored by the village, which features the Murdock Municipal Airport and street names such as Main Ave and Kenner Ave. Local history is preserved at the Sacred Heart Cem and Calvary Cem, situated on the northern and eastern edges of town.

Water plays a critical role in the topography here, with Mud Cr winding through the northern sections and Shakopee Cr flowing toward Shakopee Lake in the southwest. This lake and its surrounding wetlands provide a stark contrast to the high-density agricultural tiling seen across the rest of the quadrangle. The map also delineates the southern boundary where the terrain meets the Swift Co Chippewa Co line.
