About this map

Round Lake sits at the heart of this southwestern Minnesota landscape, surrounded by a complex network of agricultural drainage systems including Judicial Ditch Number Thirteen and County Ditch Number Ten. The settlement of Round Lake is established on the lake's southwestern shore, serving as a local hub with its Round Lake Post Office and nearby Eastside Acres Campground. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its water management and agricultural grid, where the West Fork Little Sioux River begins its course and several smaller bodies of water like Plum Lake and Illinois Lake dot the prairies.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Grace Cemetery and Round Lake Cemetery, which provide geographical anchors for early area families. The map also captures the state border region, showing the proximity of Iowa Lake and the transition into the neighboring state's northern counties. The rigid road grid, including County Hwy-35 and Ulrich Ave, highlights the systematic development of the rural township structure.
