2010 Map of Leavenworth

About this map

Leavenworth is the focal point of this rural Brown County landscape, where the Leavenworth Post Office serves the local agricultural community. The settlement is positioned south of a sharp bend in the Cottonwood River, which snakes across the northern portion of the quadrangle. Further south, the Little Cottonwood River and the County Ditch Number Twenty-eight-one define the drainage patterns of the prairie, illustrating the extensive water management systems essential to Minnesota's farming heritage. The terrain is dotted with small water bodies, most notably Altermatt Lake in the western section. A rigid grid of township roads and county highways, such as County Hwy-24 and 340th Ave, organizes the land into a highly structured quilt of fields, reflecting a century of land use in the Upper Midwest.
