About this map

Coteau des Prairies rises through this section of Roberts and Marshall Counties, forming a dramatic transition in the landscape where the headwaters of the Little Minnesota River begin to carve through the glacial till. The terrain is marked by deep incisions such as Sieche Hollow, Uncle John Coulee, and Myer Gulch, which channel drainage into creeks like Laframboise Cr and Munson Cr. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, anchored by the small settlement of Dahlberg and several historical burial grounds including Bethel Lutheran Cem and the Mayasan Presbyterian Cem. The grid of section roads, such as Co HWY 6 and Indian Rte 10, reflects the agricultural division of the land against the natural topography of the coteau.
