About this map

Butterfield sits at the heart of this Watonwan County landscape, defined by a series of shallow prairie basins and winding waterways. The town's grid is oriented around the railroad corridor, while the surrounding countryside is partitioned by a strict section-line road network including County Hwy-105 and County Hwy-5. The presence of the Mennonite Cemetery north of the village and the Butterfield Cemetery to the south provides a quiet anchor for local family historians.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Butterfield Creek meandering through the northern sections and the South Fork Watonwan River clipping the southwestern corner. Natural features like Sulem Lake, Mud Lake, and School Lake are scattered across the terrain, often flanked by small wetlands. Near the town center, Butterfield Lake and the adjacent Voss Park Campground serve as local landmarks for recreation and community gathering.
