2013 Map of Magnolia

About this map

The Magnolia settlement sits at the intersection of local routes and the modern highway corridor, serving as a focal point for this rural landscape in Rock County. The terrain is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau that shapes the drainage of local waterways like Elk Cr and Champepadan Cr. This agricultural region is punctuated by small community centers and family-run operations such as Knips Hog Farms, illustrating the persistent farming character of southwestern Minnesota. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites provide important touchstones across the township lines, including Saint Marys Cem in the northeast and Kenneth Cem near the town of Kenneth. The map also records the boundary line between Rock and Nobles counties, where Westside Cem is situated.
