About this map

The Coteau des Prairies upland plateau dominates this portion of Murray County, where the village of Dovray sits amidst a landscape defined by its glacial history. The region is characterized by numerous basins, many of which are identified as dry or seasonal beds including Duck Lakebed, Long Lakebed, and Rush Lakebed. These drainage patterns feed into the Des Moines River, which snakes through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, and its local tributaries like Devils Run.

For local historians, the map identifies several significant burial sites that reflect the area's early settlement, including Old German Cem and Our Saviors Cem located just south of the town center. The agricultural grid is well-established by this era, with County Ditch Number Four and various section roads like Co Hwy 41 and Co Hwy 14 providing the primary framework for the rural township sections.
