2019 Map of Cottonwood

About this map

Cottonwood is situated at the center of a complex hydrological landscape, anchored by Cottonwood Lake and bordered by the seasonal Lady Shoe Lake Bed. This 2019 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region defined by agricultural field patterns and a network of water bodies, including Sham Lake and Lady Slipper Lake. To the south, the Redwood River and Threemile Cr meander through the prairie, providing a natural contrast to the rigid grid of county roads and sections. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating several distinct burial sites, including English Cem, Christ Cem, and Cottonwood Cem near the town center, while Saint Clotilde Cem sits further south along the river valley. The transportation corridor is dominated by Co HWY 23, which cuts diagonally across the township lines of t113n r40w and t112n r40w.
