1967 Map of Jeffers

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Cottonwood County is defined here by the crossing of the Chicago and North Western railroad through the town of Jeffers. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals a rural society structured around township lines, including Highwater, Germantown, Storden, Amboy, and Amodale. Water management and drainage are central to the terrain, with the Little Cottonwood River and Watonwan River winding through the southern half of the quadrangle. Local infrastructure includes a Gaging Station on Dry Creek and a Landing Field situated among the farm sections. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint community centers such as Red Rock Ch, St Johns Ch, and the local Townhall. Notable landmarks for family researchers include the Jeffers Cem and Red Rock Cem, providing specific locations for ancestral sites within this prairie environment.
