About this map

Plum Creek meanders through the heart of the prairie landscape in this Redwood County study. The settlement of Walnut Grove is the central hub of activity, with its residential grid and the Walnut Grove Post Office situated just south of the creek's winding path. This geography is famously linked to the childhood home of Laura Ingalls Wilder, and the map shows the modern infrastructure including the Walnut Grove Reservoir Dam that manages the local waters.

The surrounding rural sections are defined by a strict grid of county highways and township roads, such as County Hwy-5 and County Hwy-20. These routes connect dispersed landmarks like Calvary Cemetery to the north and Saint Olaf Cemetery to the south along County Hwy-11. Numerous smaller tributaries like Pell Creek drain the agricultural lands, illustrating the hydrological pattern of the region before these waters eventually join the larger basin.
