About this map

The agricultural community of Welcome serves as the focal point of this Martin County landscape, characterized by a precision-engineered network of drainage ditches and rural sections. The town site includes important local fixtures such as the Welcome Post Office and recreational spaces like the Everett Park Campground. This era of land management is clearly visible in the presence of the Timber Lakebed and various water control systems, including the Eagle Lake Dam and several numbered channels like County Ditch Number Three and County Ditch Number Seventyone.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of religious landmarks across the prairie, notably the Zion Lutheran Cemetery, Emmanuel Cemetery, and Trinity Lutheran Cemetery. The terrain is drained by natural waterways such as Elm Creek, Lily Creek, and Dutch Creek, which meander through a grid-like transportation system of numbered roads including County Hwy-38 and County Hwy-37.
