About this map

The Little Sioux River meanders southward through this section of Jackson County, forming the primary drainage for a landscape defined by glacial basins and agricultural tracts. This 2022 survey documents the contemporary rural infrastructure of the Minnesota-Iowa border region, centered around the Holy Trinity Cem and the Nauerth Land Ranch Airport. The topography is punctuated by numerous wetlands and water bodies, including Rush Lake, Sangls Slough, and the northern reaches of Little Spirit Lake and Grovers Lake.

A strictly rectilinear grid of local roads, such as Co HWY 34 and 750th St, organizes the territory into standard sections. Significant hydrological engineering is evident through the presence of Judicial Ditch Number Thirtyfive, which manages water flow across the relatively flat plains. This map captures the intersection of natural riverine systems and a highly structured human landscape at the start of the 2020s.
