About this map

Eitzen sits at the southern edge of this Minnesota landscape, positioned just above the state line in a region defined by high ridges and carved drainage basins. The settlement serves as a local hub, anchored by the Eitzen Post Office and Saint Lukes Cemetery. To the northwest, the historic area of Portland Prairie is evidenced by the Portland Prairie Cemetery, marking the community's early agricultural roots.

The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Cabbage Ridge and Dog Square Ridge, which direct the flow of winding waterways like Winnebago Creek and the South Fork Crooked Creek. Small-scale water management is visible through structures like the Crooked Creek S-3 Dam and the R3 Structure Dam, which creates the R3 Pool. Numerous family-named cemeteries, including Steele Cemetery and Carsten Cemetery, are scattered across the township, providing essential records for genealogical research in this rural borderland.
