2019 Map of Winthrop

About this map

Winthrop serves as the primary hub in this Sibley County landscape, where the rectilinear grid of township roads meets the branching hydrology of the Middle Br Rush River. The map reveals a transition in the local environment, noted by several prominent basins including Allen Lakebed, Marsh Lakebed, and Mud Lakebed. These features, alongside Indian Lake and Sand Lake, illustrate the prairie pothole topography characteristic of this region. Outside the residential blocks of the town center, the landscape is defined by long-established section lines and agricultural corridors like Co Hwy 10 and 44th St. To the northeast, the Saint John's Lutheran Cem stands as a significant point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking early families in the rural townships.
