2022 Map of Jackson NW

About this map

Jackson anchors the southern edge of this Minnesota landscape, situated where the Des Moines River winds past State St and Riverside Dr. The map documents a heavily managed agricultural environment north of the city, defined by a complex network of man-made waterways such as County Ditch Number Fourteen and Judicial Ditch Number Thirtytwo. These features, alongside the natural path of the S Fork Elm Cr, illustrate the extensive drainage efforts required to sustain the regional farming economy. Toward the center of the sheet, the Jackson Municipal Airport stands near the intersection of several county roads, while the broader township structure is delineated by the boundaries of t103n r35w and t103n r34w. The northern reaches of the quadrangle show the convergence of the E Fork Des Moines River amidst a grid of rural routes including 870th St and 560th Ave.
