About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a vast upland plateau, defines the terrain of this Moody County landscape where the drainages of Pipestone Cr and Brookfield Cr have carved a network of gentle valleys into the glacial till. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community organized around the section-line roads and several key sites of local heritage. Small pockets of early settlement history are preserved at the Swedish Augustana Cem, Oslo Cem, and Bethania Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the Scandinavian and pioneer families who established farms across these townships. Near the western edge, the distinct elevations of Egan Mounds rise above the surrounding fields, while the persistent flow of W Pipestone Cr provides a natural break in the otherwise orderly grid of gravel roads like 238th St and 482nd Ave.
