2022 Map of Wilbert

About this map

Wilbert and the surrounding Martin County agricultural landscape are defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and drainage systems near the Iowa border. The terrain is notably interrupted by Little Tuttle Lake and Okamanpeedan Lake, while the East Fork Des Moines River winds through the western section near Ceylon. This area preserves several localized burial sites that speak to the region's pioneer heritage, including the Teitje Farm Cem and Ten Hassen Cem. An interesting geographical feature is the Clear Lakebed, suggesting changes in the local hydrology over time. Managed waterways like County Ditch Number Fiftyseven and Judicial Ditch Number Thirtysix crisscross the section lines, illustrating the extensive engineering required to maintain the productivity of this prairie farmland. Rosenberg Airport serves as a small aviation landmark amidst the rural grid of township roads.
