2016 Map of Dundee

About this map

Dundee and Kinbrae sit at the intersection of four southwestern Minnesota counties—Nobles, Cottonwood, Murray, and Jackson—forming a distinct pocket of prairie and wetland geography. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of glacial water bodies, including Clear Lake, Kinbrae Lake, and the winding Des Moines River in the northeast. This 2016 survey documents the agricultural grid and water management features of the region, such as the Wildlife Impoundment and Kinbrae Slough. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for three local burial grounds: First Lutheran Cem and Saint Marys Cem near Dundee, and Kinbrae Cem to the south. The distribution of these sites and the grid of township roads like Co HWY 46 and Wempel Ave illustrate the enduring rural settlement patterns of this multi-county borderland.
