About this map

Gaylord serves as the central hub of this Sibley County landscape, situated at the intersection of MN-22 and MN-19. The town's layout is defined by a grid of numbered streets and avenues near the local Po, bordering the shores of Titlow Lake and Mud Lake. The surrounding prairie is heavily managed by a network of drainage infrastructure, including High Island Ditch Number Five and County Ditch Number Fiftyfive, which guide water through a terrain dotted with numerous small lakes like Kirby Lake, Beatty Lake, and Weimann Lake.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of local history markers, with several family and community burial sites scattered throughout the township. These include Saint John's Cem and Saint Pauls Cem near the town center, as well as more isolated sites such as Altnow Cem, Beatty Cem, and Gasow Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle reaches into the drainage basin of the Middle Br Rush River, illustrating the agricultural character of this Minnesota region.
