About this map

Jeffers serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Cottonwood County, where a rigid grid of section lines and gravel roads defines the prairie terrain. The town's local geometry is anchored by streets like Clark St and Peavey St, while the surrounding countryside is marked by several historical burial grounds including Saint Johns Cem to the north and Red Rock Cem to the east.

Waterways like the Little Cottonwood River and the Watonwan River meander through the southern sections, breaking the regularity of the townships. The presence of Ewen Landing Field south of the main settlement indicates the continued importance of local aviation in this rural region. Genealogists and local historians can trace the development of the township boundaries from t108n r37w down through t106n r36w, seeing how the modern road network has matured around the original public land survey system.
