2019 Map of Cerro Gordo

About this map

Cerro Gordo and the surrounding prairie of western Minnesota are defined by a meticulous grid of agricultural roads and the winding course of the Minnesota River at the northeastern corner of the map. The landscape reflects a deeply rooted Lutheran heritage, centered on the Borgund Lutheran Church and the adjacent Borgund Lutheran Church Cem. These features represent the social and spiritual core of this rural community in Lac Qui Parle Co, where farmsteads are connected by a network of numbered avenues and streets, such as 291st Ave and 260th St. Water drainage is primarily managed by Emily Cr, which meanders through the central townships toward the river valley, marking the transition between the flat upland fields and the more varied terrain of the county boundary with Chippewa Co.
