About this map

Round Lake sits as a primary landmark in the western portion of this prairie landscape, where the border of Watonwan Co and Martin Co divides the agricultural grid. This survey reveals a terrain defined by a complex network of managed waterways, including Judicial Ditch Number Sixty and the meandering paths of Mink Cr and Willow Cr. These drainages reflect the intensive land use of the region, which supported local rural communities for generations. Genealogists and local historians will find the exact locations of the Waverly Lutheran Cem near the lake and the North Star Cem further south, providing fixed points for tracing family histories in this part of Southern Minnesota.
