About this map

Agricultural life in Wilkin County is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, such as County Ditch No 15 and County Ditch No 6-A. These man-made channels crisscross the townships of Mitchell, Manston, Nordick, and Meadows, revealing the effort required to manage the prairie landscape for cultivation. Near the northwestern corner, a small cluster of community life is visible around the Mitchell Cem and a local Townhall, while a Gravel Pit indicates local industrial activity. The map also highlights significant conservation efforts through the Manston State Wildlife Management Area and the National Waterfowl Production Area, which preserve wetlands amidst the surrounding farmstead parcels. Central to the spiritual life of the area is Christ Ch, situated just west of the Manston marshes. The small settlement of Meadows appears in the eastern section, marked by a Radio Tower and nearby survey benchmarks.
