About this map

Red Rock Dells and a network of meandering waterways characterize this portion of the Minnesota prairie along the border of Brown and Cottonwood counties. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the Little Cottonwood River in the north and the N Fork Watonwan River as it flows toward the Watonwan River in the south. These river systems, including the smaller Mound Cr, create subtle topographic relief against the grid of section-line roads like Co HWY-10 and MN-30. For local historians and genealogists, the Delton Cem stands as a primary point of interest near the fork of the river, representing the settled heritage of this agricultural region. The map reflects a highly organized rural infrastructure where modern highways like Us-71 overlay long-established township boundaries.
