About this map

Agricultural prairie and glacial lakelands define this region of Kandiyohi and Renville counties during the early 1980s. The landscape is heavily influenced by water management, with an extensive network of drainage infrastructure including Judicial Ditch No 1 and County Ditch No 52 supporting the surrounding farms. The South Fork Crow River meanders through the central terrain, bordered by numerous wetlands such as Emma Lake and Dog Lake.

Conservation efforts are evident through several designated National Waterfowl Production Areas situated near the larger bodies of Lake Lillian and Lake Elizabeth. Small settlements and named locations like Thorpe and Wagemaker dot the map, while the Luce Line State Trail follows an old rail corridor, providing a historical throughway for the community. Local landmarks such as the Lake Lillian Ch serve as focal points for the rural townships of East Lake Lillian and Osceola.
