2019 Map of Gibbon

About this map

Gibbon serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Sibley Co, where a complex network of drainage systems defines the modern prairie. The map details an engineered hydrology where County Ditch Number Thirtyone and several other numbered ditches direct water across the township, contrasting with the natural remnants of Swan Lake and the Alkali Lakebed. For family historians, the area is notable for its numerous burial grounds, including Saint Peter's Evangelical Cem and Saint Willibrord Cem, which sit alongside the town's larger Gibbon Cem. The landscape is etched with a precise grid of rural roads like Co Hwy 22 and 250th St, reflecting the persistent importance of farm-to-market access in this section of Minnesota.
