About this map

Magnolia sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in southwestern Minnesota, positioned along the southern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a prominent upland plateau that shapes the local drainage patterns. Watercourses such as Champepadan Cr in the north and Elk Cr to the east cut through the prairie, following the natural contours of the land.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial sites, including Westside Cem near the town center, Kenneth Cem to the northwest, and Saint Marys Cem in the northeastern corner. The village of Kenneth anchors the northern section of the survey, reflecting the traditional township-and-range settlement pattern. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Rock Co and Nobles Co, providing a clear record of local administrative divisions and the grid of county roads that connects these small prairie communities.
