About this map

The settlement of Tracy anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, where established streets like Center St and Front St meet the rural expanses of Lyon County. Positioned at the edge of the Coteau des Prairies, the area is defined by its transition from an organized town center to a high-prairie agricultural grid. Local infrastructure is evidenced by the Tracy Municipal Airport north of town and the Tracy Cem to the south.

Water management is central to this region's geography, with the winding paths of Plum Cr and Willow Cr cutting through the farmland. The presence of Judicial Ditch Number Twenty A indicates the historical efforts to manage the wetlands and sloughs, such as Robbins Slough, to facilitate the productive agriculture that has long sustained this part of the state. These waterways and ditches trace the subtle drainage patterns of the prairie upland.
