About this map

The Coteau des Prairies highland region defines the topography of this corner of Nobles and Murray Counties, where a grid of rural section roads divides a landscape of intensive agricultural drainage. The settlement of Pfingsten stands as a focal point in this sparsely populated area, which is primarily characterized by its complex network of man-made waterways. Significant engineering features such as County Ditch Number Eighty, Judicial Ditch Number Twenty, and Judicial Ditch Number Twelve illustrate the transformation of this prairie landscape into productive farmland. Genealogy researchers will find interest in localized landmarks including the American Lutheran Cem and Seward Cem, which represent the early communities and congregations that established these southwestern Minnesota townships. Natural drainage still persists through Jack Cr, winding through the southern sections.
