2019 Map of Westport

About this map

Westport sits at a geographic crossroads in this central Minnesota landscape, where the prairie meets an intricate network of wetlands and glacial lakes. The settlement is positioned near Westport Lake and the winding course of Ashley Cr, which flows eastward toward the Pope County and Stearns County line. The map reveals an area defined by agricultural management and natural hydrology, as seen in the engineered paths of County Ditch Number Six and County Ditch Number Eleven that drain the surrounding basins. This 2019 survey documents a rural environment where large bodies of water like Swan Lake and Lincoln Lake remain focal points of the terrain. The transition from older transport routes like Old Hwy 28 to the modern grid of township roads reflects the long-term settlement patterns of this lake-strewn region.
