About this map

Cottonwood River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, marking the transition between the townships of North Hero and Lamberton. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with Sleepy Eye Creek and Pell Creek feeding into the larger river system, while Judicial Ditch No 36 illustrates the mid-century agricultural modifications made to the local wetlands.

Conservation efforts in the 1960s are visible through the Waterbury State Wildlife Management Area and the Mammenga State Wildlife Management Area, which preserve sections of the prairie pothole environment. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies specific landmarks like the Townhall in Waterbury and the St Matthews Cem, alongside several smaller Gravel Pits that supported local road construction.
