About this map

Storden serves as the primary hub of this Cottonwood County landscape, characterized by a strictly rectilinear road grid that defines the agricultural character of the region. The map reveals a community supported by essential local institutions, including the Storden Post Office and multiple burial grounds such as Old Westbrook Cemetery, Storden Cemetery, and Bethany Cemetery. These features, alongside a network of county highways like County Hwy-53, illustrate the organized settlement pattern of the western Minnesota prairie.

The natural topography is punctuated by several prominent water bodies, most notably Hurricane Lake and Augusta Lake. The drainage system is defined by the meandering courses of Highwater Creek and Dutch Charley Creek, which provide a stark visual contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding section lines and local roads like 370th Ave. This detailed survey offers a clear view of the town's layout and its relationship to the surrounding lakes and waterways at the start of the decade.
