2010 Map of Ruthton NW

About this map

Redwood River meanders across the eastern plains of Lincoln County, defining a landscape dominated by a rigorous section-line road grid. This agricultural corridor, captured at the start of the 21st century, is organized by a dense network of county highways and local avenues such as 140th Ave and 221st St. The hydrology of the region is a mix of natural waterways and managed systems, including the East Branch Flandreau Creek and the engineered County Ditch Number Forty. The map reveals how the modern rural economy relies on these precise transit and drainage routes, with the North Branch Pipestone Creek cutting across the southwestern corner of the quadrangle.
