About this map

The agricultural landscape of Renville County is defined by a precision network of drainage and transportation. Highlighting the intersection of aviation and farming, Lothert's Farm Strip sits centrally among vast fields, illustrating the scale of modern prairie operations. The terrain is systematically managed by an extensive drainage system, including County Ditch Number One Hundred Twentyfour, County Ditch Number One Hundred Fortyfour, and Ditch Number Eightyfive-a. These man-made channels support the watershed of the E Fork Beaver Cr, which meanders through the western sections. A rigid grid of section-line roads, such as Co Hwy 4 and Co Hwy 5, connects isolated farmsteads across the townships of t114n r34w and t115n r34w, reflecting the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the Minnesota prairie.
