2022 Map of Mound Prairie
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
South Ridge and Union Ridge overlook a landscape deeply carved by the Root River and its numerous tributaries in this part of Houston County. The terrain is characterized by high ridges like Pea Ridge and narrow valleys such as Rose Valley and Lane Valley. This sheet is an exceptional resource for genealogical research, documenting a high density of family burial grounds including the Fairbanks Family Cem, Hargreaves Family Cem, Ruff Family Cem, and Sheldon Family Cem. The presence of the Immanuel German Lutheran Cem suggests the specific cultural heritage of the early settlers who farmed these coulees. The complex drainage network, including Mound Prairie Cr, Crystal Cr, and Pine Creek, illustrates the hydraulic patterns that dictated settlement along the valley floors and ridges.
