About this map

The Coteau des Prairies upland dominates the southwest portion of this Lyon County landscape, where the elevation rises above the surrounding plains. The Cottonwood River meanders across the southern and central sections, its winding path creating a natural corridor through the structured grid of the Public Land Survey System. This intersection of natural topography and late-twentieth-century infrastructure is visible in the network of rural routes such as Co Rd 69 and Co Rd 20. The small drainage of Meadow Cr feeds into the larger river system, while the transition from residential streets like S Saratoga St to county highways indicates the proximity to larger developed areas. The map preserves the agricultural character of the region, showing the density of section lines and township boundaries that define modern land ownership in southwestern Minnesota.
