2019 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

Ellsworth anchors the southeast corner of this survey, situated on the prairie landscape just north of the Iowa state line. The town's grid, including N Broadway St and S Walnut St, is established near the confluence of Norwegian Cr and Kanaranzi Cr. The map captures a predominantly agricultural region defined by the geological rise of the Coteau des Prairies, an upland plateau that dictates the local drainage patterns. Moving northwest toward the small settlement of Kanaranzi, the landscape is dotted with several significant burial grounds, including Grand Prairie Cem and Ashwood Cem. These sites, along with Saint Mary's Cem, offer critical touchpoints for genealogists tracing families in this portion of Nobles and Rock Counties. The network of county roads like Co HWY 16 and Co HWY 15 illustrates the rectilinear division of the land typical of the Upper Midwest.
