2013 Map of Dundee

About this map

Dundee and Kinbrae anchor this southwestern Minnesota prairie landscape, situated at the convergence of Nobles, Murray, Cottonwood, and Jackson counties. The 2013 topography reveals a region defined by complex glacial hydrology, where the Des Moines River flows through the northeast and Jack Creek meanders across the southern plains. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies specific burial grounds including First Lutheran Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery near Dundee, as well as the Kinbrae Cemetery to the south. The area is dotted with significant water bodies and managed wetlands, such as the Wildlife Impoundment and Kinbrae Slough, which highlight the importance of conservation and drainage in this agricultural corridor. Traces of historical infrastructure are visible in the naming of drainage systems like Judicial Ditch Number Twentysix, reflecting the long-term engineering required to cultivate this lake-strewn terrain.
