About this map

Hutchinson serves as the primary hub on this central Minnesota landscape, where the S Fork Crow River flows through the urban center near Otter Lake. The surrounding terrain transitions from the developed streets of the city to a mosaic of glacial lakes and managed waterways, including Lake Jennie and Lake Hook. This geography is defined by a heavy reliance on drainage infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of County Ditch Number Sixteen A and County Ditch Number Eight, which manage the low-lying agricultural lands.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as Saint Anastasia Cem and Oakland Cem on the western edge of the city. To the northeast, the smaller settlement of Lamson sits near the Meeker Co McLeod Co boundary. The map also records specialized land use like the Cedar Hill Orchard and the expansive areas of Mud Lakebed and Benjamin Lakebed, illustrating the intersection of natural hydrology and regional agriculture.
