About this map

Jeffers occupies a central position in this survey of southwestern Minnesota, surrounded by a landscape structured by the precise grid of county roads and section lines. The town’s social and agricultural infrastructure is evidenced by the Jeffers Post Office and nearby Jeffers Cemetery, reflecting a well-established rural community. This area is a drainage divide for several significant waterways, including the Watonwan River and the Little Cottonwood River, which flow across the prairie alongside smaller tributaries like Dry Creek and Mound Creek.

Family and community history are anchored by the presence of Saint Johns Cemetery and Red Rock Cemetery in the northern part of the quadrangle. A unique local landmark, Ewen Landing Field, highlights the integration of light aviation into this agricultural region. The map captures the enduring geometry of the rural Midwest, where life and travel are organized by routes such as County Hwy-10 and County Hwy-52.
