About this map

Gaylord stands as a hub of civic and rail activity in Sibley County, centered at the junction of the Chicago and North Western railroad and local thoroughfares like Main St and State Ave. The town is well-supported by community infrastructure, including the Community Sch, a Hospital, and the Po. To the north, the landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies and drainage systems, such as Titlow Lake, which features a Boat Ramp, and Altmow Lake.

The surrounding townships of Dryden, Arlington, and Sibley reveal a highly engineered agricultural environment, where numerous judicial and county ditches, such as Judicial Ditch No 12 and County Ditch No 61, manage water flow into the Rush River system. Conservation efforts are evident at the Altmow Marsh State Wildlife Management Area, preserving local wetlands amidst the intensive drainage network required for regional farming.
