Ruthton and Florence anchor this agricultural landscape in southwestern Minnesota, positioned along the prominent geographic rise of the Coteau des Prairies. The terrain is defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and drainage systems, including East Twin Lake, West Twin Lake, and the dry Ivadelle Lakebed. The upper reaches of the Redwood River meander through the southern half of the map, supplemented by engineered waterways like Judicial Ditch Number Thirteen and County Ditch Number Sixteen. This survey highlights the intersection of four counties—Lincoln, Lyon, Pipestone, and Murray—where the town of Ruthton sits just west of the Railroad Ave corridor. Family history researchers will find several well-placed burial sites, such as Opdal Cem north of Florence and Peace Cem situated southeast of the Ruthton village center.
