About this map

Sutherland and Calumet anchor this portion of O'Brien County, appearing here as they stood in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the rigid precision of the Jeffersonian grid, with numbered thoroughfares like 450th St and alphabetically named avenues such as Sorrel Ave and Taft Ave partitioning the fertile agricultural land. This map provides a clear look at the local infrastructure, including the Sutherland Post Office and the Calumet Post Office, which remain central to these rural communities.

Waterways like Nelson Creek, Dog Creek, and Gray Creek meander across the township lines, offering a natural contrast to the straight-line geometry of the section roads. For those tracing family history in the area, Liberty Cemetery is a prominent landmark situated along 500th St. The map also captures the path of Dry Run in the north, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped local farming for generations.
