2010 Map of Jasper NW

About this map

Pipestone Creek meanders through this agricultural landscape on the border of Minnesota and South Dakota, carving a natural path across a grid of section-line roads. The landscape is primarily defined by its rural layout, where large tracts of land are punctuated by small family and community burial grounds that speak to the area's pioneer heritage. Among these are Lone Rock Cemetery in the northern reaches and Eden Cemetery further south, providing clear anchor points for genealogical research. The presence of the Salem Evangelical United Brethren Cemetery along County Hwy-52 reflects the religious and social centers that once served the dispersed farming population. This survey illustrates the persistent geometry of Midwestern farm life, where the original township grids remain the primary framework for local travel and land organization.
