About this map

The agricultural landscape of Southwest Minnesota is clearly defined by the border between Yellow Medicine Co and Lyon Co, where a strictly organized section-line road network governs the prairie terrain. This survey reflects a deeply established farming tradition, with small cemeteries like Israels Cem and Swede Home Cem serving as quiet focal points for local genealogy and regional history. The topography is subtle, marked by the winding path of Spring Cr and the waters of Burton Lake, which represent the primary natural interruptions to the vast grid of township and range lines. The prevalence of named avenues and streets, such as Co Hwy 10 and 350th St, illustrates the modern connectivity of these rural townships in the early 21st century.
