2017 Map of Cayuga

About this map

Cayuga stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Sargent County, situated where the glacial prairie meets a complex system of wetlands and watercourses. The landscape is defined by the winding path of the Wild Rice River, which flows through the southern half of the quadrangle toward Lake Tewaukon. This area reflects the late 20th and early 21st-century agricultural grid, with long stretches of section-line roads like Co Rd 3 and 93rd St SE connecting isolated farmsteads. Local history is anchored by the Nordland Cem in the western reaches, while the terrain's hydrology is highlighted by prominent features such as Clouds Lake and the meandering Crooked Cr to the north. The map illustrates the specialized water management typical of the Red River Valley drainage basin, showing how human infrastructure and natural basins interact.
