About this map

South Branch Watonwan River meanders across the border of Watonwan and Martin Counties, defining a landscape shaped by intensive drainage and agricultural development. In the early 1970s, this region of southern Minnesota relied on an extensive network of man-made waterways, including Judicial Ditch No 2, Judicial Ditch No 72, and Judicial Ditch No 60, to manage the prairie wetlands for farming. Small community anchors like the Waverly Ch and a rural Townhall in Waverly township serve as markers of the local social fabric. To the south, the terrain shifts toward larger water bodies such as Fox Lake and the winding course of Elm Creek. Genealogists may find interest in the isolated North Star Cem, while the inclusion of a major Pipeline and numerous Gravel Pits reflects the area's mid-century industrial and utility infrastructure.
