About this map

The Crow River South Fork anchors the southern portion of this central Minnesota landscape, where agricultural fields are punctuated by numerous prairie lakes and drained lakebeds. The settlement at Lester Prairie serves as a hub near the river, while Winsted sits to the north along the western shore of Winsted Lake. This 1980s-era geography reflects a long-established rural community, evidenced by several denominational landmarks such as Nylunda Ch, Old Holy Trinity Cem, and St Peter Cem.

Transport and recreation are represented by the conversion of old rail corridors into the Luce Line State Recreational Trail, which cuts across the townships of Winsted and Victor. The map also captures the local industrial and utility footprint, including various Gravel Pits and the Municipal Airport south of Winsted. Several former water bodies are identified by name, such as Roach Lakebed and Higgins Lakebed, illustrating the area's geological transition and history of land drainage for cultivation.
