About this map

The Antelope Hills rise above the agricultural plains at the border of Lac qui Parle and Yellow Medicine counties in this detailed 2022 survey. This prairie landscape is defined by its water management and religious heritage, with numerous drainage projects such as Judicial Ditch Number One and County Ditch Number Forty-two modifying the natural flow of Florida Creek. These watercourses thread through a section-line grid of rural roads, including County Highway 4 and 100th Street North.

For family historians, the map preserves the locations of several rural cemeteries that speak to the area’s Scandinavian settling, including the Florida Lutheran Cemetery, the Norwegian Lutheran Church Cemetery, and the Bethlehem Cemetery. The presence of these sites, alongside names like Lazarus Creek and Cobb Creek, provides a clear view of the communal and natural landmarks that have anchored this farming community for generations.
