About this map

The Mc Pherson Co Edmunds Co line bisects this late 1970s landscape, revealing a region defined by agricultural water management and conservation. Extensive wetlands and potholes are protected through several designated zones, including the National Waterfowl Production Area, the Hosmer State Public Shooting Area, and the Heilman State Public Shooting Area. These areas indicate a shift toward preserving the prairie pothole ecosystem amidst the larger townships of Modena, Hosmer, and Bowdle.

In the northeast, the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain, serving as a primary transit link for the sparsely settled region. The presence of a Golf Course and numerous Gravel Pits reflects local recreation and industry, while Cottonwood Lake anchors the southern boundary. This survey maps a critical intersection of transportation, rural industry, and environmental conservation.
