About this map

Fulda serves as the primary hub of this Murray County landscape, situated at the confluence of the Fulda Second Lake and Fulda First Lake. The town's grid, including W Front St and the Fulda Post Office, is oriented toward the water, where the Fulda Lake Dam regulates the local flow. This 2010 survey reveals a countryside dominated by a strict section-line road network, where long stretches of Read Ave and Town Ave connect isolated farmsteads across the prairie.

Water management is central to this agricultural region, evidenced by the winding path of Jack Creek and the straight-line engineering of Judicial Ditch Number Twentysix. Large natural bodies such as West Graham Lake and East Graham Lake break the geometric regularity of the fields, providing a clear view of the hydrological character of southwestern Minnesota before further 21st-century development.
