Ceylon serves as the primary settlement on this Martin County map, situated just north of the Iowa border. The landscape is a complex network of agricultural fields and water management, defined by the winding E Fork Des Moines River and a series of significant drainage projects such as Judicial Ditch Number Fifty and County Ditch Number Fiftythree. These features, alongside named basins like Manyaska Lakebed and Smith Lakebed, illustrate the historical transformation of the prairie pothole region into productive farmland.
