About this map

Big Whisky Cr and Muddy Cr define the drainage patterns of this Woodbury County agricultural landscape during the early 21st century. The terrain is organized by a precise grid of rural section roads, including Kestrel Ave, Lake Ave, and Franklin Ave, which serve the scattered farmsteads of the region. This 2013 survey illustrates the endurance of the township-and-range survey system, where nearly every mile is marked by a named thoroughfare such as 300th St or c70. The sparse density of named settlements highlights a purely agrarian economy centered on small watercourses like Elliott Cr and W Mud Cr, which meander through the open fields between the straight lines of the county road network.
