2013 Map of Bergen

About this map

Bergen serves as the primary landmark in this rural landscape at the border of Cottonwood Co and Jackson Co. The area is defined by a dense grid of section roads, including 550th Ave and 900th St, which navigate a complex drainage system essential to the regional agricultural economy. Waterways like the S Fork Watonwan River in the north and Elm Cr to the south create natural deviations in the otherwise rectilinear survey lines. For those researching local heritage, the Hauges Cem near the intersection of Us-71 and 890th St offers a specific point of interest. This 2013 survey also highlights large-scale water management projects like Judicial Ditch Number Thirtythree, illustrating the human engineering required to maintain the productivity of these prairie lands.
