About this map

The Minnesota River valley and its surrounding prairie plateau define this landscape in Big Stone County. The small community of Odessa serves as the local hub, situated near the river and the Odessa Post Office. This area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including Eidskog Cemetery, Eids Cemetery, and Odessa Trinity Lutheran Cemetery, which offer valuable data for family historians tracking early settlement patterns in the region.

Water management and natural drainage are evident through features like Stony Run and several prominent lakes. Significant water bodies such as Otrey Lake, Larson Lake, and Long Tom Lake are connected by a grid of county roads. The Long Tom Lake Dam indicates local water control efforts, while Horseshoe Lake and Peterson Lake dot the agricultural landscape, illustrating the glacial topography typical of western Minnesota.
