2013 Map of Brewster

About this map

Brewster serves as the primary focal point of this southwestern Minnesota prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of MN-60 and 10th St. The town is flanked by historic burial sites, including Sacred Heart Cem, Trinity Cem, and Hersey Cem, providing significant touchstones for local genealogical research. The surrounding terrain is part of the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau characterized by a complex drainage network. This geography is defined by a system of managed watercourses such as Judicial Ditch Number Thirtyseven and Judicial Ditch Number Seventy-six, which augment natural features like Okabena Cr and Elk Cr. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural grid, where long avenues such as Wass Ave and Zeh Ave divide the land into productive sections.
