2016 Map of Kenneth

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau dominates this section of Southwest Minnesota, defining a landscape of glacial upland and prairie stream systems. The map covers the intersection of four counties—Pipestone, Murray, Rock, and Nobles—showing the organized grid of section lines and gravel roads that support the region's agricultural economy. The settlement of Edgerton sits in the northwest corner along the Rock River, while the small community of Leota and the Leota Cem serve the central rural township. Further south, the town of Kenneth marks the lower portion of the quadrangle. Water drainage is defined by the winding paths of Chanorambie Cr and Champepadan Cr, which cut through the high ground of the Coteau. This survey captures the rural character of the area, from the farmsteads along Co Hwy 1 to the remote prairie stretches of the Rock and Nobles county line.
