About this map

Coteau des Prairies, the expansive plateau rising above the surrounding plains, dominates the topography of this Marshall County region. This high prairie landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, featuring a complex network of seasonal wetlands and drainage systems. Water bodies such as White Lake and the meandering Wild Rice Cr characterize the northern reaches, while the southern terrain is marked by Black Slough and Stink Slough.

A strictly organized grid of section lines and county roads, including Co HWY 6 and Bremmon Rd, partitions the land for agricultural use. Natural depressions in the plateau surface have formed distinct landmarks like Marble Gulch and Oak Gulch, which break the upland profile. This contemporary survey captures the enduring rural character of the Coteau, showing how the local road system interacts with the ancient glacial contours and waterways like Crow Cr.
