2019 Map of Appleton

About this map

Appleton serves as the focal point of this region, situated where the Pomme de Terre River flows toward its confluence with the Minnesota River. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by glacial history, featuring prairie wetlands and small water bodies like Shible Lake and Spring Lake. A well-defined grid of township and county roads, including Co Rd 54 and 90th St SW, reveals the organized agricultural development of the area. Local history is anchored at sites such as Appleton Cem and the Minnesota Valley Cem, while the Appleton Municipal Airport indicates the modern infrastructure supporting this rural community. The convergence of multiple county lines, including those of Big Stone, Lac qui Parle, Swift, and Chippewa counties, highlights the town's position as a cross-border regional hub.
