2019 Map of Fulda

About this map

The settlement of Fulda serves as the primary hub in this southwestern Minnesota landscape, situated at the edge of the Coteau des Prairies highland. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, most notably Fulda First Lake and Fulda Second Lake adjacent to the town site, and the larger West Graham Lake and East Graham Lake to the southeast. This modern survey illustrates the heavy reliance on agricultural engineering in the region, with Judicial Ditch Number Twentysix and several other managed waterways cutting through the prairie to facilitate drainage. The map provides a clear record of the rectilinear road grid typical of the Great Plains, showing how secondary routes like Co RD 2 and numerous township avenues navigate around the natural depressions and water bodies that characterize this portion of Murray and Nobles Counties.
