About this map

Canby serves as the primary hub in this prairie landscape, where the local street grid intersects with MN-68. The topography is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that influences the drainage of the Lac qui Parle River and its tributaries like Lazarus Cr and Canby Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural character of the region, marked by a systematic road network such as 240th Ave and 200th St that divides the farmland.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial sites, including Saint Peters Cem, Saint Pauls Cem, and Swenson Cem. The presence of Burr in the northwest and Myers Field Airport to the east highlights the mix of historic settlements and modern infrastructure. The map also records the boundary between Yellow Medicine and Lincoln counties, providing a clear reference for local administrative history.
