About this map

The Minnesota River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving a wide valley that defines the local geography. Near the riverbanks, the small settlement of Cambria is flanked by the Cambria Cemetery, while further south, the community of Butternut is situated near Our Saviors Cemetery. The area is characterized by a complex network of drainage and water management, evidenced by the Judicial Ditch Number Thirty-six and Judicial Ditch Number Forty-eight.

Glacial remnants appear across the southern half of the map, where bodies of water like Armstrong Lake, Lieberg Lake, and Strom Lake dot the agricultural grid. A particularly distinctive feature is the Solberg Lakebed, indicating a significant shift in the local hydrology. This 2010 survey also shows the meandering paths of Morgan Creek and the Little Cottonwood River, which contrast with the straight lines of the county highway system and the numerous township roads that serve the rural homesteads.
