About this map

Agricultural patterns and water management define this portion of Brown County, where the village of Evan sits along a diagonal corridor amidst a landscape of section lines and townships. The drainage of the prairie is evident through engineered features like Redwood Brown Ditch Number One, which channels water toward natural systems such as Spring Creek and Sleepy Eye Creek. Near the southern boundary, the map records the Bloemke Lakebed and the winding course of the Cottonwood River.

Genealogists and local historians can locate smaller settlements and burial grounds that anchor the rural community, including the village of Cobden and the Prairieville Cem located north of County Highway 29. Further south, the Mielke Cem provides another point of historical interest near the township line. The infrastructure is characterized by a dense grid of township roads, such as 220th Street and 170th Street, illustrating the modern layout of this productive farming region.
