2015 Map of Superior

About this map

Superior sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in the mid-2010s, positioned along the border where Dickinson and Emmet Counties meet. The township's character is defined by a dense network of sectional roads like 330th Ave and Co Rd A20 that segment the prairie into a productive grid. Notable for its glacial hydrology, the area features prominent water bodies including Swan Lake and the wetlands of Christopherson Slough, while the Des Moines River cuts through the northeast corner. For local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of the Superior Township Cem and the Union State Line Cem near the Minnesota border. Small watercourses such as Big Muddy Cr and School Cr drain the fields, feeding into the larger basins of Fourmile Lake and Cheever Lake.
