2019 Map of Jasper NW

About this map

Ihlen sits at the eastern edge of this landscape, positioned along the rising terrain of the Coteau des Prairies. This upland plateau, a significant terminal moraine, defines the geography as the land transitions across the South Dakota Minnesota border. The map documents a rural landscape organized by the Public Land Survey System, with State Line Rd marking the boundary between Moody and Pipestone counties. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the location of several significant burial grounds, including Lone Rock Cem, Eden Cem, and the Salem Evangelical United Brethren Cem. Water drainage is dominated by the westward-flowing Pipestone Cr and its South Branch, which cut through the agricultural sections and section lines of this high prairie region.
