About this map

The Mustinka River meanders across the lower portion of this Traverse County landscape, leaving behind the traces of an Old Channel as the waterway was managed for agricultural drainage. This prairie region is defined by an extensive network of engineered waterways, including County Ditch Number Thirty-six and County Drain Number Twenty-seven, which crisscross the grid of section lines and county roads. For those tracing family roots in this part of Minnesota, the map identifies three key burial sites that anchor the rural community: Monson Cem, Immanuel Cem, and Sharon Cem. These sites, along with the proximity of Fivemile Cr, provide essential landmarks for understanding the early 21st-century settlement patterns and land use in this fertile agricultural corner of the state.
