The town of Hector and nearby Buffalo Lake anchor this 2019 survey of the Renville County landscape, where the Jefferson Highway's legacy persists in the local grid. The region's agricultural character is etched into the earth by a complex network of man-made waterways, including Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen and County Ditch Number One Hundred Three, which drain the prairie toward High Island Cr. These ditches represent a significant engineering feat, essential for the conversion of wetland into the productive farmland seen today.
