2022 Map of Winthrop

About this map

Winthrop serves as the primary center of activity in this Sibley County landscape, where a dense grid of local streets like Main St N and Hennepin St N meets industrial development along Industrial Dr. The surrounding prairie terrain is defined by a significant drainage network and several distinct basins, including Indian Lake and the expansive Marsh Lakebed. These features, along with Allen Lakebed and Mud Lakebed, suggest a history of fluctuating water levels and land reclamation common in this part of Minnesota. The rural portions of the quadrangle are strictly organized by a section-line road system, featuring routes such as Co Hwy 10 and Township Rd. Genealogical interest is anchored by the Saint John's Lutheran Cem located in the northeastern corner, while the Middle Br Rush River provides the primary natural drainage for the southern fields.
