About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau dominates this section of Lincoln County, defining a landscape of glacial drift and water management in southwestern Minnesota. The intricate network of headwaters includes the Lac qui Parle River and the N Br Yellow Medicine River, which drain the agricultural tableland through a system of natural basins and human-engineered waterways like Judicial Ditch Number Nineteen. Significant water bodies such as Steep Bank Lake and Perch Lake are prominent, alongside specialized drainage areas like the Bukowski Lakebed and Swenson Lakebed. The rural character of the region is anchored by the Marble Cem and a grid of township roads including Co HWY 20 and Co RD 18, which facilitate movement across the productive prairie townships of T113N and T112N.
