2016 Map of Dexter

About this map

The town of Dexter serves as a focal point in this portion of Mower County, where the intersection of regional thoroughfares and agriculture defines the landscape. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and county roads, including Co Hwy 10 and Co Hwy 7, which connect the primary settlements of Dexter and Elkton. This 2016 survey captures the area's agricultural heritage, marked by landmarks such as the Dexter Cem and Petes Airport. The drainage patterns of the region are clearly visible through a network of small waterways like Rose Cr, Schwerin Cr, and Deer Cr, along with engineered solutions such as County Ditch Number Eight. These features illustrate the transformation of the prairie into productive farmland through deliberate water management. Genealogists will find interest in localized markers including the Saint John's Lutheran Cem, which anchors a rural corner of the quadrangle.
