About this map

Okamanpeedan Lake and Little Tuttle Lake dominate the southern portion of this Martin County landscape, straddling the border between Minnesota and Iowa. The area around Wilbert and Ceylon is characterized by an intricate network of agricultural drainage systems, including County Ditch Number Fiftyseven and Judicial Ditch Number Thirtysix, which manage the water levels of the region's numerous glacial basins.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds preserved here, such as Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem and the Tettie Farm Cem. The western edge of the quadrangle is defined by the East Fork Des Moines River, while specialized aviation history is noted at Rosenberg Airport. The presence of the Clear Lakebed suggests the evolving nature of the prairie pothole region's hydrography over time.
