About this map

Okabena serves as the primary hub in this southwestern Minnesota landscape, centered around the Okabena Post Office and a grid of rural avenues. The terrain is defined by a complex network of natural and engineered waterways, where the Okabena Creek meanders toward South Lake Heron in the northeast corner. This water management is further evidenced by significant drainage projects, such as Judicial Ditch Number Thirtyone and Judicial Ditch Number Seventeen, which intersect the agricultural sections to the east.

To the south, the headwaters of the Little Sioux River begin their course near the settlement of Rost. The map provides essential details for genealogical research, including the location of Saint John's Cemetery along 390th Ave. The geometric precision of the township road system, including routes like Okabena Rd, illustrates the organized agricultural expansion that characterizes Jackson County.
