2010 Map of Edgerton South

About this map

Edgerton and Hardwick anchor this corner of Pipestone County, illustrating the enduring grid of southwest Minnesota's agricultural heartland at the turn of the decade. The landscape is defined by the meandering Rock River, which flows through the eastern portion of the area, joined by several smaller tributaries including Poplar Creek and Chanarambie Creek. The map provides a precise layout of the rural road network, from established routes like County Hwy-1 to numerous township roads that partition the prairie. This 2010 survey offers a detailed look at the infrastructure of small-town life, identifying the central Edgerton Post Office and the Hardwick Post Office as focal points for their respective communities. Local waterways like Mound Creek and Little Beaver Creek break the geometric regularity of the section lines, indicating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use since early settlement.
