About this map

Dundee sits at a critical junction of county lines in the southwestern Minnesota prairie, where the corners of Murray, Cottonwood, Jackson, and Nobles Counties converge. The landscape is defined by its glacial history, featuring a dense concentration of wetlands and water bodies such as Clear Lake, Jack Lake, and Kinbrae Lake. These lakes are connected by a network of drainage features like Judicial Ditch Number Twenty-six and Jack Cr, while the upper reaches of the Des Moines River flow through the northeast corner.

Settlement patterns follow the rigid township and range grid, with small hubs like Kinbrae anchoring the agricultural community. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including First Lutheran Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Kinbrae Cem. Large-scale conservation efforts are evident in the northern sections, most notably the expansive Wildlife Impoundment near the Murray-Cottonwood border.
