About this map

Minneota and Ghent anchor this western Minnesota landscape, characterized by a grid of agricultural section lines and the winding course of the Yellow Medicine River. The river and its tributaries, including the S Br Yellow Medicine River, carve subtle drainage patterns through the Lyon County prairie. This 2019 survey reveals a significant density of genealogical sites, particularly the numerous family and denominational burial grounds scattered across the townships.

Researchers will find several specialized sites such as the Josephson Family Cem and the Icelandic Cem, reflecting the specific ethnic heritage of the region's settlers. The town of Minneota is detailed with street-level labels like E Lyon St and Golf Course Rd, while the surrounding rural areas are punctuated by sites like Saint Edwards Cem and the Old Hennes Cem. The agricultural infrastructure is represented by a network of drainage systems, notably County Ditch Number Sixtythree, which supports the local farming economy.
