About this map

Dunnell stands as a focal point in this southern Minnesota landscape, surrounded by an extensive network of agrarian waterways. The region is defined by the East Fork Des Moines River and Fourmile Creek, which are supplemented by a sophisticated grid of engineered channels like Judicial Ditch Number Seventeen and Judicial Ditch Number One Hundred Five. These water management features reflect the high-intensity agricultural development that has shaped Martin County over generations.

Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Lake Fremont Cemetery north of the village and the Dunnell Post Office. The map shows a precise grid of rural roads, including 90th St and 10th Ave, connecting isolated farmsteads across the prairie. The presence of Brown Creek and various judicial ditches indicates how the natural hydrology has been adapted to support the local farming economy at the start of the twenty-first century.
