About this map

Pipestone serves as the primary hub of this southwestern Minnesota landscape, situated just north of the winding South Branch Pipestone Creek. The map documents the town's civic infrastructure, including the Pipestone Post Office and the Pipestone County Fairgrounds. To the south, the terrain is defined by the course of Split Rock Creek, which feeds into Splitrock Lake. This waterway is a focal point for local engineering, featuring both the Splitrock Lake Dam and the Split Rock Bridge.

Smaller rural settlements like Ihlen and Trosky maintain their own distinct identities with dedicated post offices, while the region's aviation needs are met by the Pipestone Municipal Airport and the Dykstra Acreage Airport. The map's rigid grid of section roads, such as 80th Ave and 41st St, illustrates the enduring structure of the area's agricultural and township organization in the early 21st century.
