About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau defines this agricultural landscape in Southwest Minnesota, where the drainage patterns are marked by a sophisticated network of man-made waterways. Systems such as County Ditch Number Eighty, Judicial Ditch Number Twenty, and Judicial Ditch Number Twelve illustrate the extensive late-19th and early-20th-century efforts to reclaim wetland for farming. This 2022 survey captures the modern rural layout where the small settlement of Pfingsten sits near the American Lutheran Cem, serving as a local anchor for the surrounding farmsteads.

Water management remains the central theme of the terrain, with Jack Cr winding through the southern sections. Family history researchers will find the Seward Cem near the eastern border, a critical site for tracing early pioneer roots in this portion of the prairie. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of Murray Co and Nobles Co, reflecting the enduring township-and-range grid that has organized this region for generations.
