2016 Map of Cerro Gordo

About this map

Cerro Gordo and its surrounding prairie landscape are defined by a strictly organized grid of county roads and section lines in this western Minnesota survey. The settlement pattern reflects the enduring agricultural footprint of Lac qui Parle County, where the local community centered around the Borgund Lutheran Church and the adjacent Borgund Lutheran Church Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands that dot the agricultural fields, with Emily Cr winding through the northern sections of the quadrangle. A significant jurisdictional boundary is visible in the northeast corner, where the Chippewa Co Lac Qui Parle Co line meets. The map provides a precise view of rural infrastructure, including a dense network of numbered streets and avenues like 270th St and 281st Ave that facilitate the region's farming economy.
