About this map

Boise Lake and the agricultural lands of the southern Minnesota prairie define this landscape along the border of Redwood and Brown Counties. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems and natural waterways, including the winding path of Sleepy Eye Creek, Spring Creek, and the man-made Redwood Brown Ditch Number One. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the infrastructure of the early 21st century is evident where Us-14 and MN-258 intersect, providing a vital corridor for this rural farming region.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the cluster of burial sites near the highway, including Saint Raphael Cem, Saint Rachael Cem, and Saint Paul Cem. Further north, Waidelich Farms and Dannebod Cem mark established family and community locations. The presence of the Pankratz Airport reflects the importance of private aviation in managing these expansive agricultural tracts.
