About this map

The Antelope Hills rise above the agricultural plains of Lac qui Parle County, defining the local topography of this prairie landscape. This 2010 survey reveals a rural structure oriented around a precise grid of township roads and county highways, including County Hwy-13 and County Hwy-2. The natural drainage of Florida Creek and Cobb Creek is supplemented by man-made alterations like Judicial Ditch Number Fortyone, reflecting the area's intensive agricultural history.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of community landmarks, particularly the Florida Lutheran Cemetery, the Norwegian Lutheran Church Cemetery, and Bethlehem Cemetery. These sites, along with the scattered farmsteads, provide concrete evidence of the settlement patterns established by Scandinavian immigrant communities in this part of Minnesota. The map also traces the path of Lazarus Creek as it winds through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle.
