2016 Map of Sanborn SE

About this map

The Little Cottonwood River and the N Fork Watonwan River meander through this agricultural landscape along the border of Brown and Cottonwood counties. This 2016 survey highlights a region defined by its waterway network, including Mound Cr and the main branch of the Watonwan River near the southern boundary. Culturally, the presence of the Delton Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in the township. The terrain is marked by the Red Rock Dells in the northern portion, suggesting a break in the uniform prairie topography. A dense grid of rural roads, such as Co HWY 17 and Co RD 51, connects the various sections and townships, illustrating the persistent land division patterns of the Public Land Survey System.
