2022 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

Ellsworth and the small settlement of Kanaranzi occupy this prairie landscape in the southwestern corner of Nobles County, near the border of Minnesota and Iowa. The terrain is characterized by the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that divides the river systems in this region. This modern survey shows a well-defined grid of township roads and county highways that serve the agricultural community, crossing watercourses such as Kanaranzi Cr and Norwegian Cr. For those researching family history in the area, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including Ashwood Cem west of Kanaranzi, as well as Grand Prairie Cem and Saint Mary's Cem situated just north of the Ellsworth town site.
