About this map

The agricultural grid of southern Renville County dominates this landscape, where the rectilinear precision of roads like 360th St and 760th Ave contrasts with the wandering path of Birch Coulee Creek. This drainage system is central to the area's geography, supplemented by man-made watercourses such as Ditch Number Eightyfive-a. A legacy of rural education is preserved in the location of School Number 28, standing as a marker of the district's past social organization. Transportation and logistics in this farming region are supported by both the thoroughfares of County Hwy-4 and more specialized infrastructure like the Lotherts Landing Strip, illustrating the modern methods used to manage these expansive Minnesota fields. To the west, the East Fork Beaver Creek cuts across the corner of the quadrangle, further defining the local watershed.
