2016 Map of Porter SW

About this map

Wilno stands as a primary point of interest in this section of Lincoln County, situated just north of the Coteau des Prairies upland. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Yellow Medicine River and its tributary, the N Br Yellow Medicine River, which carve subtle valleys across the glacial till. Genealogical interest is concentrated at several long-established sites including the Saint Johns Cantlus Cem and the Alta Vista Cem, while Porter Cem sits on the northern edge of the survey. The mapping of Oak Lake and the dense grid of local roads like Co RD 134 and Co RD 109 reveals the organized agricultural layout that has persisted in this southwestern Minnesota corridor for generations.
