About this map

The agricultural hub of Plainview anchors this survey of southeastern Minnesota, situated on a high plateau between the branching drainages of the North Fork Whitewater River and West Indian Creek. The town's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares like W Broadway and N Wabasha, surrounding local institutions such as the Po and the Greenwood Cem. To the west, the smaller settlement of Elgin sits near the river's edge, while Holzer Farms and Christison Airport mark the rural expanses in between.

Water plays a central role in the landscape's character, with Middle Cr and Long Cr carving deep valleys into the surrounding terrain. These natural features are interspersed with community landmarks like Piper Hills Golf Course and several burial grounds, including Saint Joachim Cem and the hilltop Oakwood Cem. The network of county highways and township roads, such as CO Hwy-8 and MN-42, illustrates the well-connected nature of this farming region.
