2016 Map of Taunton

About this map

Taunton sits at the center of this agricultural landscape in Lyon County, where the prairie begins its rise toward the Coteau des Prairies in the southwest corner. The drainage pattern is defined by the Yellow Medicine River and its various tributaries, including the N Br Yellow Medicine River and the S Br Yellow Medicine River, which carve subtle paths through the grid of section lines and rural roads. For those tracing local heritage, the Old Taunton Catholic Cem serves as a significant landmark just southeast of the main settlement. The map illustrates the persistent structure of the public land survey system, with townships like t113n r43w and t112n r43w providing the framework for the area's steady rural character and road network, including routes like Co Rd 55 and Co Rd 17.
