About this map

Lake Minnewaska defines the eastern edge of this western Minnesota landscape, where the town of Starbuck serves as a local hub. The terrain is shaped by glacial legacy, featuring prominent elevations like Blue Mounds and the westward flow of the Little Chippewa River. The map meticulously details rural infrastructure and social history, including several burial grounds such as Minnewaska Cem, Bethany Cem, and Fron Cem that mark early community settlements.

Transport and water management are central themes, seen in the path of the Starbuck Municipal Airport and a network of drainage systems like County Ditch Number Two and Outlet Cr. This survey provides a clear view of the mid-2010s parceling and local road network, including the Froland Trail and Co RD 14, illustrating how the agricultural and residential layout has adapted to the region's lakes and creeks, including Lake Emily and Signalness Lake.
