About this map

The Rock River meanders south through the undulating prairie landscape of the Minnesota and Iowa borderlands, anchoring a region defined by its agricultural grid and dispersed rural settlements. In the southwestern corner, the small community of Ash Creek sits near the junction of Us-75 and MN-270, serving as a focal point for the surrounding farmsteads. The land is drained by smaller tributaries including Ash Cr and Elk Cr, which carve gentle draws into the terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important sites across these section lines, including Eastside Cem and Ebenezer Cem. Further north, the Quentin Aanenson Field Airport marks a modern landmark on the outskirts of the primary settlement areas. The map clearly delineates the transition from Rock County, Minnesota, into Iowa, following the township and range lines that have governed the layout of roads like Co Hwy-1 and 100th St for generations.
