About this map

The S Fork Watonwan River meanders across the northern portion of this southern Minnesota landscape, defining a rural region where four counties—Cottonwood, Watonwan, Jackson, and Martin—meet. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of wetland features, including Irish Lake and Fish Lake in the northeast, as well as the headwaters of Cedar Cr and Elm Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of religious landmarks throughout these townships. Several cemeteries are situated along the section lines and rural routes, such as Zion Lutheran Cem and Saint Olaf Cem in the north, and Cedar Lutheran Cem, Cedar Hill Cem, and Trimont First Lutheran Cem further south. These sites, often positioned near the intersections of numbered township roads like 430th St and 10th Ave, serve as enduring markers of the area's pioneer heritage and agricultural settlement patterns.
