2013 Map of Swanville

About this map

The Swanville and Pillsbury communities anchor this central Minnesota landscape, where the boundary between Todd and Morrison counties follows a north-south line through a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The drainage of the Swan River and its tributaries, including Little Swan River and Spring Br Swan River, defines the local geography. Large water bodies like Big Swan Lake, Long Lake, and Moose Lake dominate the terrain, surrounded by a rural grid of roads such as State 28 and Co Hwy-12. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites mapped, including Bearhead Cem, Spring Brook Cem, and the dual locations of Saint Peter Cem and Saint John Cem. The map provides a clear look at the area's late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure, including the Post Office in Swanville and the numerous named creeks and lakes that have shaped local recreation and settlement for generations.
