About this map

Arlington and Hetland anchor this survey of the glacial upland known as the Coteau des Prairies. The landscape is defined by its numerous wetlands and depressions, including Lake Whitewood, the Twin Lakes, and Tenneboe Slough, which dot the agricultural grid. This 2017 edition records a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by a high density of country burial grounds that tell the story of early settlement and religious life.

Genealogists will find several distinct sites, such as the Lake Whitewood Lutheran Cem, Nordland Cem, and Old Nordland Cem. Farther south, Spring Lake Covenant Cem and Pleasant View Cem provide further evidence of the diverse immigrant congregations that established these prairie townships. The map clearly delineates the Kingsbury and Brookings county line, with Arlington serving as a central hub for the surrounding farms.
