2019 Map of Sanborn NE

About this map

The Cottonwood River meanders across this prairie landscape where three Minnesota counties — Redwood, Brown, and Cottonwood — meet. This 2019 survey captures the rural layout near Sanborn and Springfield, showcasing a geography defined by the branching waters of Mound Cr and Coal Mine Cr. While much of the land is organized by an extensive grid of agricultural roads like Magnolia Ave and 450th Ave, the natural hydrology of the Little Cottonwood River in the southeast corner provides a distinct contrast to the straight-line section boundaries. Local heritage is grounded in landmarks like the Christ Lutheran Cem and the Springfield Municipal Airport, which serve as modern and historical anchors for the surrounding farming communities.
