About this map

Russell serves as the primary hub in this portion of Lyon County, situated where the Redwood River winds through the southwestern Minnesota landscape. The terrain is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that influences the local drainage patterns of both the Redwood River and the Cottonwood River to the south. This area is a classic example of the glacial geography of the region, featuring numerous small basins and larger bodies of water such as Clear Lake, Rock Lake, and the distinctly labeled Brush Lakebed.

For those researching local heritage, several burial sites are documented including Russell Cem, Lynd Cem, and Lyons Cem. The settlement of Burchard appears in the southwestern corner, connected by a network of section-line roads and county routes like Co Rd 60 and Co Rd 58 that grid the agricultural surroundings. The map provides a detailed view of the town site in Russell, showing the street layout from Central Ave to High St.
