About this map

Madison serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Lac qui Parle County, where a tidy grid of numbered streets like 11th St and 2nd St defines the town's core. The surrounding prairie is methodically divided by a network of section roads, including Co Hwy 24 and Co Hwy 28, which facilitate the movement of goods and people across the plains.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of early community landmarks, most notably Hegre Cem and Faith Cem. These sites, along with the transition from the primary thoroughfare of Min Main Rd to rural avenues like 221st Ave, illustrate the enduring settlement patterns of this Minnesota region. The landscape is dotted with small wetlands and depressions, characteristic of the local topography, while the precise township boundaries such as t119n r44w provide the cadastral framework for the area.
