About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau defines the geography of this rural landscape where Marshall and Roberts counties meet. This highland area features a distinctive drainage pattern, including the winding Little Minnesota River and multiple creek systems like LaFrambois Cr and Munson Cr. The settlement of Dahlberg serves as a central reference point in a region characterized by deep glacial features, most notably the prominent Sieche Hollow and Uncle John Coulée. These topographic indentations provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding agricultural grid of numbered avenues and streets. Local history is anchored by the Spring Valley Cem in the southern portion of the map, while water resources like Standfast Cr and Myer Gulch carve through the elevated plains of the Coteau.
