About this map

The Coteau des Prairies upland plateau defines the landscape of Murray County in this 2013 survey, where a network of section-line roads connects isolated settlements and agricultural landmarks. The village of Avoca sits prominently near the shores of Lime Lake, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural area. Further south, the small community of Wirock remains a distinct marker in the prairie grid.

Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for its documentation of numerous burial sites, including the Faith Swedish Cem, Badger Lake Presbyterian Cem, and Saint Rose Cem. The presence of Judicial Ditch Number Ten and the Big Slough highlights the managed water systems necessary for this high prairie region, while Us-59 provides the primary transit artery passing through the north near Slayton and down through the heart of the county.
