About this map

The Lyon Co Redwood Co boundary bisects this agricultural landscape, where the Cottonwood River meanders eastward across the northern townships. The area is defined by its persistent rural infrastructure, organized around a rectilinear grid of roads such as Co Rd 4 and 180th St. A notable concentration of pioneer and community burial grounds, including the Old Gales Cem, Gales Cem, and Swedish Cem, provides a map of early settlement patterns and family heritage in this part of Minnesota. The southern edge of the map features the Tracy Municipal Airport, indicating the intersection of modern regional transit with the traditional prairie geography. The presence of the Nettiewynnt Lake Bed near the center of the sheet reflects the historical drainage and management of the local watershed, including tributaries like Meadow Cr and Lone Tree Cr.
