2022 Map of Verdi

About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a prominent glacial upland, dominates the landscape of this southwestern Minnesota survey. The settlement of Verdi sits at the intersection of Co HWY 2 and Co RD 9, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural townships. To the north, the terrain transitions toward Lake Benton, while the hydrology of the region is defined by the headwaters of Flandreau Cr and its tributary, E Br Flandreau Cr. The grid of county roads, including Co HWY 10 and Co RD 110, illustrates a highly organized rural land system characteristic of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. These transport lines connect isolated farmsteads across the undulating heights of the coteau, providing a detailed view of the local drainage patterns into Willow Cr and the broader watershed near the state border.
