2016 Map of Wilbert

About this map

Okamanpeedan Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this landscape along the border of Martin County, where agricultural grid roads intersect a complex chain of glacial water bodies. The settlement of Wilbert stands as a central landmark, supported by local institutions like Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem. To the west, Ceylon marks the edge of a region defined by managed water systems, including County Ditch Number Fiftyseven and Judicial Ditch Number Thirty-six. These engineering efforts demonstrate the 21st-century's continued commitment to land reclamation in the prairie pothole region. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named and community landmarks are visible, such as Teltje Farm Cem, Tenhassen Cem, and the Rosenberg Airport, providing a detailed look at the rural social and economic infrastructure near the East Fork Des Moines River.
