About this map

The Terrace settlement anchors this survey, situated at a bend in the East Branch Chippewa River where the Chippewa River Dam regulates the water. This portion of Pope County is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, connected by a grid of rural roads like County Hwy-21 and 195th Ave. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies the Chippewa Falls Cemetery near the town site and the Immaculate Conception Cemetery to the northeast.

Water management and recreation are central to the landscape, evidenced by features such as the Marlu Millpond and its associated Marlu Mill Pond Structure Dam. Large bodies of water including State Lake, Swenoda Lake, and Round Lake are interspersed with smaller prairie potholes, illustrating the transition between cultivated farmland and the naturally wet terrain of west-central Minnesota. Pine Hill Park provides a notable landmark near the northern boundary, while many smaller dams like the Lake Linka Structure Number 1 Dam suggest a highly managed local hydrology.
