A Swift County township map answers two different questions around Holloway: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. The free Swift County parcel viewer and the parcel record usually display both.
What a Swift County township map shows
Where civil townships exist in the county, they are named local units, and their duties near Holloway depend on Minnesota law. Separately, Minnesota land near Holloway comes from the Public Land Survey System, in which each township is about 36 square miles; each holds 36 sections, so a farm near Swift Falls may span two.

On a grid map of Swift County, numbering starts with section 1 in the northeast corner, with the count snaking back and forth to 36 in the southeast. Calls like 'NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4' near Danvers make sense in reverse: find the last quarter named first, then work inward. Water, old surveys and corrections can leave odd-sized lots along section edges in Swift County.
Old names and overlapping districts in Swift County
