About this map

Cottonwood River meanders across the southern portion of this Redwood County landscape, joined by its tributaries Coal Mine Cr and Sleepy Eye Cr. The region is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Harvest Ave and Co Rd 7, which divide the fertile Minnesota prairie into large agricultural tracts. This pattern of land use is interrupted only by the river valleys and small pockets of wetlands. For those tracing local family history, the map preserves the location of small, rural burial sites such as the Saint Matthews Cem and the Schwahn Family Plot Cem. These features, along with the numerous farmsteads connected by thoroughfares like 200TH St and Frontier Ave, reflect the enduring rural character of southwestern Minnesota in the early twenty-first century.
