About this map

The glacial highlands of the Coteau des Prairies dominate this portion of Lincoln County, defining the drainage patterns that feed into Coon Cr and a series of managed waterways like County Ditch Number Fifteen. Central to the landscape is the eastern reach of Lake Benton, surrounded by a network of seasonal and residential roads such as Shady Shore Dr and Lemon Point Rd. This 2016 survey illustrates the intersection of natural lakeside topography with the rigid grid of agricultural sections and township boundaries.

In the southeastern corner, the city of Tyler serves as the local hub, anchored by the Tyler Municipal Airport. The presence of the Danebod Cem on the outskirts of town reflects the area's cultural heritage, while the extensive system of numbered county roads and ditches, including County Ditch Number Fourteen, reveals the intensive engineering required to maintain the region's productive prairie farmland.
