2013 Map of Bingham Lake

About this map

The Watonwan River meanders through this agricultural landscape in southern Minnesota, anchoring a region defined by its numerous prairie lakes and the expanding footprint of Windom. This 2013 survey illustrates the established infrastructure of Cottonwood County, where the small settlement of Delft and the city of Bingham Lake serve as local hubs connected by a grid of section-line roads like Co Hwy-13. Significant for genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Delft Cem, Carson Cem, and Voth Cem, reflecting the area's rural community history. The southwestern corner is particularly active, showing the proximity of the Windom Municipal Airport to Resthaven Memory Gardens and the shores of Cottonwood Lake, highlighting the intersection of municipal development and the natural hydrology of the glaciated plains.
