2013 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

The rolling upland of the Coteau des Prairies defines this corner of the Upper Midwest, where the drainage of Kanaranzi Cr and Norwegian Cr carves subtle relief into the agricultural landscape. At the boundary of Rock Co and Nobles Co, the town of Ellsworth serves as a local hub, with its street grid including Ellsworth St and S Mulberry St near the local Po. The map documents a deeply rooted rural community, marked by established burial grounds such as Saint Mary's Cem and Grand Prairie Cem. Further northwest, the smaller settlement of Kanaranzi sits along Co Hwy-3, illustrating the persistent township-and-range road network that has organized this prairie region for over a century.
