2010 Map of Mount Wickham

About this map

Mount Wickham rises above a landscape defined by its essential water management and drainage systems in western Minnesota. This terrain is characterized by the winding path of the West Branch Lac qui Parle River, which is supported by several smaller tributaries including Florida Creek, Lost Creek, and Cobb Creek. The agricultural character of the region is evident through the naming of localized infrastructure, such as County Ditch Number Seventeen, which channelizes water across the prairie to support farming. For those researching local heritage, the Frontenac Lutheran Cemetery stands as a focal point of community history in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map also records low-lying wetland features like Bolland Slough, illustrating the natural hydrology that persisted alongside the grid of county highways.
