About this map

Westport sits at the heart of this agricultural and lake-rich landscape in Pope County. The town is oriented along MN-28, which serves as the primary east-west artery through a terrain defined by glacial depressions and drainage improvements. These natural and man-made water features are central to the area's identity, with Westport Lake and the meandering Ashley Creek shaping the local geography.

Evidence of the region's managed hydrology is clear through systems like County Ditch Number Six and County Ditch Number Eleven, which channel water across the prairie to support the surrounding farmland. Smaller bodies of water such as Swan Lake, Ellen Lake, and Lincoln Lake are scattered throughout the quadrangle, illustrating the complex wetland environment that characterizes this part of Minnesota. The map also delineates the Pope Co Stearns Co boundary, marking the transition between these two central counties.
