2019 Map of Jeffers

About this map

Jeffers serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Cottonwood County, where a grid of rural roads connects the town to its outlying farmsteads and cemeteries. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of the Little Cottonwood River and the Watonwan River, which wind through the township boundaries of T107N R36W and T107N R37W. These waterways, along with smaller tributaries like Mound Cr and Dry Cr, provide the primary natural relief in an otherwise strictly surveyed section-line landscape. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Saint Johns Cem in the north and the Jeffers Cem just south of the main settlement. The presence of the Ewen Landing Field reflects the intersection of traditional prairie farming with modern aviation needs in this corner of southwestern Minnesota.
