2015 Map of Britton East

About this map

Britton serves as the hub of this Marshall County landscape, situated where the flat agricultural plains meet the rising slopes of the Coteau des Prairies. This dramatic geological plateau dominates the eastern portion of the sheet, creating a distinct topographical rise that overlooks the Wild Rice Cr and Crow Cr drainages. The map captures a well-developed rural infrastructure of gridded section lines like 105th St and 112th St, serving scattered farmsteads and the local Britton Municipal Airport. Historical markers such as Pleasant Hill Cem and the settlement at Oak Gulch provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracking family heritage in the Glacial Lakes region. Significant water features, including the Gronseth Slough, illustrate the characteristic prairie pothole drainage patterns of the Dakotas.
