2022 Map of Providence

About this map

Providence serves as the central settlement in this agricultural landscape on the border of Lac qui Parle and Yellow Medicine counties. The area is defined by the winding course of the Lac qui Parle River and several tributary streams including Tenmile Cr and Spring Cr. A key landmark for local history and genealogy is the Swedish Methodist Church Cem, which sits near the center of the survey. The land is heavily managed for drainage, evidenced by the presence of County Ditch Number Seventy-nine and numerous small wetlands. This grid of township roads and section lines reveals a highly organized rural infrastructure, with Miller Lake providing one of the few natural open water features in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
