About this map

The Coteau des Prairies upland plateau dominates this southwestern Minnesota landscape, providing a distinct geographic context for the rural agricultural townships mapped here. Situated along the boundary of Pipestone Co and Rock Co, the land is etched by a drainage network including Poplar Creek and Beaver Creek. A key site for local history is the Rose Dell Cem, which sits near the intersection of several county roads that follow the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents the persistent grid of farm-to-market roads, such as Co Hwy 1 and Co Hwy 21, which have defined the transport patterns of these prairie townships for generations.
