About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau defines the geography of this rural landscape along the boundary of Lincoln and Lyon Counties. This 2016 survey highlights a region shaped by agricultural water management, evidenced by the extensive network of artificial waterways including Judicial Ditch Number Thirtyone and County Ditch Number Fourteen. These engineered channels intersect with natural features like Coon Cr and the upper reaches of the Redwood River, creating a complex drainage system for the surrounding farmland.

Several historic burial sites are distributed across the townships, providing valuable reference points for genealogists and local historians. These include Wood Lake Cem near the shores of Wood Lake, as well as Mission Cem, Saint Dionysius Cem, and Hope Cem. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the large basin of Dead Coon Lake, serving as a primary landmark in a territory characterized by its grid of county roads and section lines.
