2010 Map of Fulda SW

About this map

The rural agricultural landscape surrounding Pfingsten in Nobles County is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid and an extensive network of managed waterways. This 2010 survey illustrates the sophisticated drainage systems vital to southwestern Minnesota farming, including County Ditch Number Eighty, Judicial Ditch Number Twenty, and Judicial Ditch Number Twelve. These man-made channels intersect with natural drainage like Jack Creek, which meanders across the southern portion of the quadrangle. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies significant landmarks such as the American Lutheran Cemetery and Seward Cemetery. The inclusion of water management features like the Desiltation Project 73-2 Dam and Kremer-Leiner-Goedtke Pond Dam reflects modern conservation efforts integrated into the longstanding prairie farmstead layout, where family names often persist in the labeling of local infrastructure.
