2022 Map of Sanborn

About this map

Sanborn sits at the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape where the Cottonwood River carves a winding path through the prairie. The river’s valley is a central topographic feature, joined by tributaries such as Dutch Charley Cr and Highwater Cr that drain the surrounding fields. The map documents a strictly organized grid of rural roads, including Lamberton Rd and Co HWY 12, which define the section lines across the Redwood Co and Cottonwood Co border. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies specific community landmarks like the Germantown Evangelical United Methodist Cem and the Sanborn Cem near the town center. The drainage patterns of Dry Cr in the south further illustrate the hydrological layout of this fertile farming region in southwest Minnesota.
