About this map

Tyler serves as the primary hub for this southwestern Minnesota agricultural landscape, situated at the intersection of a dense network of county highways and local roads. The town's layout is clearly defined, including the Tyler Post Office and the Lincoln County Fairgrounds on its western edge. To the south, the Danebod Cemetery offers a significant point of interest for genealogists and local historians, while the Tyler Municipal Airport stands just northwest of the main settlement.

The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by a systematic drainage network designed to support prairie farming, featuring long, straight channels such as County Ditch Number Fifteen and County Ditch Number Forty. In contrast to these engineered waterways, the meandering path of Coon Creek winds through the northern sections of the map before reaching the eastern shores of Lake Benton. This configuration illustrates the 21st-century balance between natural water bodies and the intensive land management required for the region's agricultural economy.
