About this map

Stewart serves as a primary hub of settlement in this part of McLeod County, characterized by a structured grid of streets such as Main St and Croyden St. To the south, the village of Fernando marks a smaller node of activity near the McLeod Co Sibley Co line. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage and reclamation history, with numerous drained basins or shallow waters identified as lakebeds, including Halls Lakebed, Nutter Lakebed, and Showburg Lakebed.

Water management is prominent throughout the terrain, with Judicial Ditch Number Twentyfour and County Ditch Number Sixtyfour cutting through the agricultural sections to manage the flow into Buffalo Cr and High Island Cr. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several rural burial sites that anchor the community's history, such as Round Grove Cem, Saint Boniface Cem, and Draeger Cem. Large bodies of water like Round Grove Lake and Kujas Lake remain prominent landmarks in this highly managed prairie landscape.
