2013 Map of Trimont

About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Watonwan and Martin county line is centered around the settlements of Trimont, Odin, and Ormsby in this 2013 survey. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and drainage systems, including the prominent Cedar Lake and its namesake Cedar Lake Cem. Water management is a defining feature of the local geography, evidenced by the Judicial Ditch Number Twentyone and various creeks like Willow Cr and Elm Cr that wind through the prairie. The layout of the region is strictly defined by a rectilinear grid of township roads such as 250th St and 80th Ave, with MN-4 serving as the primary north-south artery connecting these small communities. This survey documents the intersection of rural life and hydrological engineering in Southern Minnesota.
