About this map

The settlement of Lynd sits along the banks of the Redwood River, serving as a focal point in this southwestern Minnesota landscape. The area is characterized by the prominent rise of the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that dictates the local drainage patterns. Water features like Threemile Cr snake through the township sections, highlighting the transition between the upland prairie and the river valley.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific burial sites such as Zion Cem and Island Lake Cem. The grid of section roads, including Co Hwy 15 and Co Hwy 25, connects the dispersed farmsteads to the central hub at Lynd. The town's own layout is clearly defined by local thoroughfares like E Railroad St and N River St, reflecting a community historically tied to the convergence of rail and river transport.
