2012 Map of Minneapolis South

About this map

Minneapolis serves as the focal point for this Ottawa County landscape, where the meandering Solomon River dictates the region's geography and development. To the south of the city, the land transitions into a systematic grid of agricultural roads, punctuated by the small settlement of Lindsey and the quiet grounds of Highland Cem. The map illustrates the area's aviation infrastructure with both the Minneapolis City County Airport and the Solomon Valley Airpark situated in the northern reaches. This 2012 survey captures the drainage patterns of several tributaries including Salt Cr, Lindsey Cr, and Battle Cr, which flow toward the Solomon, shaping the fertile Kansas plains. The network of rural routes like Justice Rd and Frontier Rd provides a clear view of how modern transportation corridors have integrated with the natural watercourses of the valley.
