About this map

The agricultural landscape of Cottonwood County is anchored by the community of Storden, where the Chicago and North Western railroad provides a primary corridor for transit and trade. This 1960s survey documents a region defined by its prairie potholes and small glacial lakes, including Hurricane Lake and Augusta Lake. The Hurricane State Wildlife Management Area occupies the northern reaches, preserving the natural drainage patterns of Dutch Charley Creek and Highwater Creek.

For local history and genealogy, the map identifies foundational community landmarks such as the Old Westbrook Ch and the Townhall north of town. Burial sites like the Storden Cem and Bethany Cem are precisely located near the township lines. The abundance of Gravel Pits scattered across the township suggests the importance of local material extraction for the development of the county's road network during this era.
