2022 Map of Evan

About this map

The village of Evan serves as a primary reference point in this agricultural landscape near the border of Redwood and Brown counties. A significant portion of the terrain is defined by its drainage and water systems, including the Redwood-Brown Ditch Number One and the meandering path of Sleepy Eye Cr, which flows toward the Cottonwood River in the southeastern corner. The presence of the Bloemke Lakebed indicates the region's post-glacial topography and history of local land reclamation for farming. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies rural landmarks such as Prairieville Cem and Mielke Cem, which are situated among a rectilinear grid of county roads and township lines. The small settlement of Cobden provides another anchor for researchers looking at the development of small communities along the region's transport routes like Co Hwy 27.
