About this map

Jeffers serves as the central hub of this southwestern Minnesota landscape, situated at the intersection of MN-30 and 440th Ave. The surrounding rural territory is defined by a grid of agricultural section roads and the winding paths of several drainage systems, including Mound Cr, Dry Cr, and the Watonwan River. To the south of the main settlement, the Ewen Landing Field Airport provides a rare break in the agricultural pattern.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burial grounds scattered across the township, such as Saint Johns Cem in the north and the namesake Jeffers Cem just south of the village. The drainage divide is visible here, where the Little Cottonwood River originates and flows eastward. The map captures a late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure, where the community's civic life is centered around the Post Office and a network of county highways like Co Hwy-10.
