2022 Map of Wabasso SW

About this map

The Cottonwood River meanders across this rural Redwood County landscape, defining the topography alongside its tributaries, Lone-Tree Cr and Plum Cr. This 2022 survey documents a region defined by a precise section-line road grid, where large-scale agriculture is punctuated by significant local landmarks. For those tracing regional ancestry or cemetery locations, the map provides exact coordinates for several burial grounds, including the Johnsonville Township Cem, the Johnsonville Cem to the south, and the Trinity Cem located near 160th St. In the northern portion of the map, Gales Lake sits within a network of drainage features and township lines that characterize the southwestern Minnesota prairie. The presence of the North Hero Cem in the southern township further highlights the distributed nature of early rural communities and their preserved footprints in a modern agricultural setting.
