About this map

The Cottonwood River meanders through the northern plains of Brown County, defining the agricultural character of this Minnesota landscape. Near the river's southern bank lies the small community of Leavenworth, a focal point for the surrounding farmstead network. The terrain is characterized by intricate water management and natural drainage systems, including the Little Cottonwood River to the south and the County Ditch Number Twentyeight-one.

Surface water is a prominent feature, with Altermatt Lake situated west of the central meridian, surrounded by numerous smaller wetlands and depressions typical of the region's glacial history. A rigid grid of section lines and rural routes, such as Co Hwy 100 and Co Rd 24, provides the framework for this prairie township, reflecting a long-established pattern of land division and land use that persists into the 21st century.
