2013 Map of Perth

About this map

The Watonwan River meanders through the southern portion of this region, defining the local drainage and topography in a landscape largely organized by the Jeffersonian grid. Situated at the crossroads of Mn-60 and Twp Hwy 151, the small settlement of Perth serves as a central point for the surrounding agricultural community. The map reveals a high concentration of drainage infrastructure, such as County Ditch Number Fiftysix, which reflects the ongoing management of this prairie landscape for cultivation. Genealogists will find particular value in the presence of two burial grounds, N Lincoln Cem to the north and Lincoln Cem further south, which mark the locations of early area settlers. The terrain is further defined by its position at the intersection of three counties, where the boundaries of Brown, Blue Earth, and Watonwan meet.
