2019 Map of Bigelow

About this map

Worthington anchors the northern edge of this Nobles County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the waters of Okabena Lake. This portion of the Coteau des Prairies plateau reveals a complex water system, ranging from the meandering Little Rock River and Otter Cr to the engineered paths of Judicial Ditch Number Ten. The map documents the southern expansion of the county seat toward smaller settlements like Bigelow and Org, which are connected by a network of county roads and local avenues. Genealogists may find value in the location of Ransom Cem, situated near the township boundary. The southern reaches are defined by Ocheda Lake and the headwaters of the Ocheyedan River, illustrating the diverse hydrology of this prairie region at the close of the 2010s.
