About this map

The Cottonwood River and its tributaries carve a distinct path across this southwestern Minnesota landscape, where the borders of Redwood, Brown, and Cottonwood counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding courses of Mound Cr and Coal Mine Cr, which flow through a structured grid of agricultural section lines and rural corridors like Magnolia Ave and Co Hwy-2. These waterways likely influenced the early development and land-use patterns of the region's farming communities.

While the town of Sanborn sits at the western edge, much of the area remains dedicated to open space and utility. Notable local landmarks include the Springfield Municipal Airport in the northeast and the Christ Lutheran Cem further south. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure surrounding the Little Cottonwood River as it passes through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle.
