About this map

Tracy sits in the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the agricultural grid of Lyon and Redwood counties meets the Cottonwood River valley. The map documents a predominantly rural environment defined by a rigid network of section-line roads like Lyon Redwood Rd and Co Hwy-4. A high concentration of burial sites, including Old Gales Cem, Gales Cem, Luther Cem, Swedish Cem, and Calvary Cem, suggests a long-settled community with distinct cultural or denominational enclaves. The hydrology is marked by the presence of the Nettlewynnt Lake Bed and the winding courses of Lone Tree Cr and Meadow Cr, which break the geometric precision of the surrounding farmland. This modern survey provides an exact record of the contemporary prairie landscape, from the Tracy Municipal Airport to the scattered farmsteads that anchor this region of Minnesota.
