2019 Map of Montevideo

About this map

The Montevideo townsite occupies a strategic position at the confluence of the Chippewa River and the Minnesota River, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape in Chippewa County. This modern survey illustrates the dense residential street grid of the city, bounded by major local thoroughfares like Black Oak Ave and Wolfe Ave. The topography is defined by the broad, low-lying river valleys which contain complex wetland systems, including Long Slough, Round Slough, and Carlton Lake. Outside the city center, the map documents the rural settlement pattern, highlighted by established cemeteries such as Saint John's Lutheran Church Cem and the Sunset Memorial Cem. Significant infrastructure like the Montevideo-Chippewa County Airport and the smaller community of Wegdahl to the southeast are clearly delineated, reflecting the area's continued role as a regional transport and service center near the Yellow Medicine County line.
