About this map

Jasper and Sherman anchor this 2019 survey of the prairie landscape spanning the border between Minnesota and South Dakota. The terrain is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a high glacial plateau that shapes the local hydrology. Split Rock Creek winds southward through the center of the sheet, joined by Pipestone Cr near the Minnesota-South Dakota state line. This drainage system was critical for early settlement and agriculture in the region.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial sites, including the Old Highland Cem and Rosendal Cem, which sit alongside active community landmarks like Saint Joseph Cem and Jasper Cem. The rectilinear road network, including routes like Co Hwy 1 and Highland Rd, illustrates the persistent township and range system that organized this agricultural frontier across four different counties.
