2019 Map of Adrian SW

About this map

The rolling upland of the Coteau des Prairies defines this portion of Nobles County, where the agricultural grid meets the drainage systems of the Missouri River watershed. The southern fringes of Adrian are visible at the top of the sheet, serving as a hub for a network of section-line roads such as Dayton Ave and Co Rd 17. The landscape is primarily shaped by the meandering paths of Kanaranzi Cr, Norwegian Cr, and Tom Cr, which cut through the high prairie plateau. This 2019 survey documents the modern rural structure of southwestern Minnesota, illustrating the persistent importance of named thoroughfares like Chaney Ave and Dillman Ave in a region historically dominated by large-scale farming and the geographic height of land between major river basins.
