Your scale is wrong. Think big.
Your swamp is c. one third of a mile².
That is only a very small part of a parklandscape.
In the 19th century much of Minnesota was a swamp. That's why they
put so much effort into draining it.
Read the maps, the relevant descriptions on
the MDNR site and my answer to Daryl Krupa
and you'll know that you are wrong.
I have in other articles today posted a URL for a map:

Nothing new with that map.
And did yoy compare de differences if level of
KRS 'valley' and the surrounding lakes?
And if so, do you understand the consequences?
(Close the advertisement if it pops up in the middle of everything).
Note that the water levels are modern and lower than the 19th century
levels which are now being restored by the construction of dams.
I have also posted a refrence to an article http://tinyurl.com/dmxyw
where you will find the story of the finding of the fake AVM stone on
an adjoining hill. This includes the statement:
"About six years ago the Minnesota Department
of Natural resources reclaimed the farmed wetland.
They put in a small dam in the gully at the outlet of
the old lake and flooded the swamp to a depth of
three or four feet, with water level probably not much
different than when the Norse were there over 600
years ago. However, 600 years ago the lake was
doubtless several feet deeper than today, and the
natural processes of water-plant and algae growth
would have filled it up with muck over the intervening
centuries."
The region of Runestone hill still is a swamp and has been drained in
the past.
I trust you are prepared to revise your opinion on the basis of new
information.
You provide not a shred of new information, only evidence
of your ignorance and your inability to read and digest
and understand the postings of others.
Nobody here has ever denied that KRS 'valley' was a
swamp. On the contrary, I wrote earlier that there was
probably much more water in the area.The question here
was not if that was a swamp or not, but what the character
of the landscape was. But you, and your old lady, denied
without any foundation and clearly without any knowledge
that it a was parklandscape
