2010 Map of Echo

About this map

The agricultural plains of Redwood County are anchored by the small communities of Echo and Vesta in this 2010 survey. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of section roads and a sophisticated water management system, illustrated by numerous channels like Judicial Ditch Number Thirtyseven and County Ditch Number Ninety-six. In the south, the Redwood River cuts across the corner near Vesta, where the Vesta Post Office and local Vesta Cemetery serve the town. To the north, Echo is situated near Boiling Spring Creek, featuring its own Echo Post Office and the German Cemetery. Significant for genealogists, the map also identifies the Holy Name Catholic Church Cemetery west of Vesta. The central part of the quadrangle is dominated by the waters of Curtis Lake, while the Schmidt Airport provides a small aviation hub amidst the expansive farmland.
