2010 Map of Dawson

About this map

Dawson serves as the focal point of this western Minnesota landscape, where the meandering Lac qui Parle River and its West Branch define the local topography. This 2010 survey illustrates the organized grid of the town site alongside significant agricultural water management systems like Judicial Ditch Number Four and County Ditch Number Ninetyfive. The cultural and civic life of the community is anchored by the Dawson Post Office and the American Legion Golf Course on the town's western edge. Genealogists will find the clustering of three distinct burial grounds particularly notable: Riverside Cemetery, Trinity Lutheran Cemetery, and Dawson Cemetery all lie east of the main settlement, providing a concentrated area for local heritage research.
