About this map

The village of Dovray anchors this Murray County landscape, centered at the intersection of 141st St and 250th Ave. This corner of southwestern Minnesota is defined by its transition from prairie wetlands to agricultural grid, with notable water bodies like Buffalo Lake and the meandering Devils Run cutting through the section lines. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Willow Lake Cemetery in the north and the Old German Cemetery near the town center.

A distinctive geographic feature of this area is the prevalence of dry basins such as Long Lakebed, Rush Lakebed, and Star Lakebed, which suggest the historic drainage and transformation of the local hydrology for farming. The southern reaches are marked by the Des Moines River and Dutch Charley Creek, providing a stark contrast to the rigid road network. The Dovray Post Office remains a central landmark for the community amidst the surrounding fields.
