About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau dominates this section of Lincoln County, defining a landscape where glacial geography meets a systematic grid of township roads and agricultural drainage. Significant water features include the Yellow Medicine River and the Lac qui Parle River, which drain the uplands alongside engineered channels like Judicial Ditch Number Nineteen. The map reveals the ephemeral nature of the local prairie potholes, identifying the Bukowski Lakebed and Swenson Lakebed as distinct from permanent bodies like Perch Lake and Steep Bank Lake. Local history is anchored by the Marble Cem, situated in the northeastern section of the quadrangle. The intersection of local routes such as Co Rd 18 and Co Hwy 20 provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure supporting this high prairie region.
