2013 Map of Elkton SW

About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a massive upland plateau, dominates this landscape along the state line where Moody and Pipestone counties meet. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Flandreau Creek and several branches of Pipestone Creek, which carve winding paths through the high plains. The settlement of Airlie sits at the southern end of this grid, near where MN-30 and SD-34 connect the two states. Further north, the map identifies Cresson and agricultural landmarks like Cottonwood Angus Farms. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring rural structure of the region, where the section-line road system, including 10th Ave and 487th Ave, maintains a strict geometry over the undulating glacial geography of the Coteau.
