2019 Map of Sanborn

About this map

The Cottonwood River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, carving a distinct valley through the agricultural plains of Redwood and Cottonwood Counties. The settlement of Sanborn anchors the northeastern corner, established at a critical junction of river geography and early transit routes like W Mill St. This 2019 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where land is methodically divided by a grid of section roads including Co Rd 15 and 100th St. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several landmarks, most notably the Germantown Evangelical United Methodist Cem and the Sanborn Cem. The hydrology is defined by the drainage systems of Dutch Charley Cr, Highwater Cr, and Dry Cr, which feed into the primary river basin.
